Hiding the URL means hiding, or encapsulating, HTTP(S) from the user. Eventually, paving the way for a replacement of that venerable document-centric protocol for something more app-centric. That's my bet anyway.
- andybak 13y agoBy "my bet" do you mean: 1. "Google has a master plan and are gently testing the water to see how far they can push it" or 2. "I think this is where trends will eventually carry us" (2) is quite reasonable and (1) is a conspiracy theory that I personally think is a little absurd.
- politician 13y agoThanks, but yes, I think the long-term trend takes us away from documents and towards integrated web-delivered apps. Today's hack of JavaScript, DOM, CSS, and Ajax will eventually be smoothed into a simpler arrangement more suited for apps than documents. I think technologies like Dart, SPDY, HSTS, and Web Components foreshadow that future to various degrees.
