This shows the importance of good URL design upfront. Twitter did an amazing job of having well defined REST-ful URLs from the beginning and it was one of the factors responsible for their early success. The more rational, guessable and legible your URL's the easier it is for people to use your web service.
- corin_ 15y agoWell, does Twitter's success show the importance of it, or does the success of all those other sites show that it isn't actually important?
- olefoo 15y agoIt's _a_ factor. Not _the_ factor solely responsible for their success. It's like having well designed tables and chairs in a restaurant; it makes a difference, but if the food sucks or it's in a bad location the restaurant will still fail.
