This is a good and oft-neglected part of UI and API design to keep in mind. I especially like the discussion of the implications of hierarchical, semantic URL's in improving user trust and likelihood of clicking. Much like with database design, it's easy for programmers to take over the task of URL design and make it easy to use from the write-first, read-never programmer perspective. User considerations come later if at all. I like the reminder to pay attention to these factors. We should all be reminded to question our first impulses; are we making something good for us or good for the user?
