In an age of REST, I'm not sure why sites still insist on hiding behind GET parameters for primary functions of the site.

I think one of the more successful aspects of Reddit is that each section has it's own full URL, making it easy to share and for engines to index.

Witness:

http://hubski.com/tag?id=askhubski

http://reddit.com/r/askreddit

EDIT: (facepalm) Yeah, I meant GET parameters not requests ... both are obviously GET requests
