I was wondering if anyone knew the thinking behind there decision to do this:
Alot of pages on Apple.com have clean links such as:
however some of there pages end with .html
http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/features/airtunes.html
I find it unlikely that these pages are static html pages so….
Why would Apple (and other sites) do with, what are the usability advantages?
After a some thought, the way I see it is the ‘.html’ signify to the user that there is no more pages down that branch of the site. Anything that ends with ‘/’ has a menu on it and the user can go a little deeper.
