Quite often I find myself on the phone and I want to show someone a
page.
At that point I'm saying h-t-t-p-colon-slash-slash-t-h-i-n-k-n-o-l-a-
dot-com-slash-p-o-s-t-...
Hopefully I don't have to remember an md5 generated key to get them
there.
I'm a developer, but I do a lot of hand-holding and other support on
a community website. There are so many times when I'm out and about
and the phone rings and someone wants a bit of information and I talk
out a URL.
A meaningful URL is valuable for understanding where the user is,
even if it is not perfectly book-markable. If more clicks are
necessary once they get there fine, so long as I can get them there.

the question is what about the users of that client.
I think nice looking urls is greatly exaggerated normal people
look at
the
browser contents instead of the url
How many times do i look at the url when i am browsing websites.
I think
never.
I'm not too convinced. I regularly 'guess' URLs myself, and do notice
a nice vs an ugly URL. You may argue I'm not a regular joe here, but
who really is nowadays? I think we should keep an open mind to
improvements.
