Well, starting to type "news" when i want "news.ycombinator.com" and getting "reddit.com" or "digg.com" is kinda pointless. Unless you're suggesting that URL's are obsolete?

not at all, but why not start typing "yc..." or "redd" etc instead? Be specific.

Maybe my line of thought where a URL that only one website can own is outdated, but i thought that by typing the URL it would be more specific then, say, going to google and typing in "news" and hoping to find hn.
