End of URL’s?
Jeremiah pops the question "Will URL's go away?" and says the future is "content to be found and served through context". With search engines getting increasingly sophisticated, at least from a consumer perspective URL's are getting abstracted. You don't have to know the URL of a resource to get to it- as long as you have a decent idea of content and the context surrounding the content. However, in a Web 2.0 world URL's will continue to be the bedrock of how information is referenced and consumed by applications. Take REST for example. External interfaces of typically procedural applications that are current exposed as method calls would now become URL's. URL's might be getting hidden away from the end consumer of content, but will become increasingly relevant at the plumbing and the infrastructural layer. Consumer Internet Technology
