In my experience, I have seen this in all contexts: private computers, public computers, kiosks, etc. For a user, it is easier to remember the keyword(s) that found the results, than the domain name. But keep in mind, this scenario is not for common and popular companies with popular and already established urls (ie. Intel, Pepsi, etc)
Also, new ads are promoting the keywords rather than the domain name itself (look at the post by Morten, ie. http://www.cabel.name/2008 /03 /japan -urls -are -totally -out.html) . In this example, companies are promoting this behavior. -Juan -----Original Message----- From: j. eric townsend [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 6:44 AM To: Juan Ruiz Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IxDA Discuss] Google by default Juan Ruiz wrote: > Interesting thread.

I'm curious -- in what context(s) are you seeing this? Using their own computers, shared computers, public kiosks? ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
