An interesting article i though i would share, and seeing as it relates to the web and therefore brainking i will put it here.

Remember back when Fencer said that no longer did we have to type www.brainking.com, and we could leave the www. off.

Well, Fencer started a trend, and even the man (Tim Berners-Lee) who is credited with inventing the WWW (World Wide Web) last week at a symposium on the future of technology, was asked if he had any regrets, or would he do anything differently?

Answer: He would get rid of the double slash “//” after the “http:” in Web addresses

So, there you go, even something that we all now take for granted, could have been improved
(Today’s browsers, of course, automatically fill in the “http://” preamble when a user types a Web address.)
