It is odd to neglect readable URLs, especially considering they actually had that before on profiles.google.com.

- jmelloy 14y agoI thought the story was that they were readable User IDs until fairly late in the dev process, when they realized they were giving away what people's gmail accounts were.
- X-Istence 14y agoThose still work ... http://profiles.google.com/xistence http://profiles.google.com/xistence I liked that on Google Profiles I could pick my own alias, I happened to make it the same as my email address @gmail.com but there was still a choice. The number used now is not nearly as comprehensible, I hope they reintroduce something like the profiles.google.com stuff.
