   Wow, that’s REALLY bad. I’m pretty sure Analytics & Adwords don’t do that, you would think Maps gets quadruple the requests and they would have it taken care of.

   Yeah, I go to /reader daily and /analytics almost as often. Crazy they wouldn’t alias the directory. Even crazier they use a dead-end 404 page.

   Nice. I’m a huge proponent of hackable URLs. I just had a ‘discussion’ with the other developers on my team about them. I was outnumbered, but stood firm and the others finally caved to my stubbornness. I completely believe that power users should be able to turn the address bar into their own mini command line.

   Hey, electric pulp is like dying over there… looks like Spam Karma needs to be configured, and most of the “read more” links in the portfolio don’t work…
