HP Website Crazy Links
I Googlged this and I came up empty, but I can’t be the only person to have noticed it. Maybe other people just aren’t calling it crazy links 
Here’s an example of the URL for an HP product that I was looking at:
https://h10078.www1.hp.com/cda/hpms/display/main/hpms_content.jsp?zn=bto&cp=1-11-15-119^1211_4000_100__
Uh, have you guys looked at your own URL’s??? I get that internally, the CMS you’re using might make them like this, but it’s compltely unfriendly! Even if you’re Mr I-See-Code-In-My-Dreams Software Engineer and ignore feeble humans who don’t remember 64 bit integers off the top of their head, you should realise that it’s terrible for SEO. Or maybe HP just don’t care about SEO because they are already a trusted site in Google. Mind you, I can’t say the same thing for their internal web search engine; every time I search on their website using their own search I come back with a lot of irrelevent results. Go Google Go! I also don’t get why it’s HTTP’s…are HP worried about man-in-the-middle attacks on their public information? “Oh look boss, if we buy this product it says our company will automatically become cool and guarentees to double our stock prices” (oops, SNAP!).
Seriously though, it’s an absolute pain when you have to share the link with someone else. “Oh, look at this from HP…oh it’s 404′ing for you? Sorry, copy and paste didn’t copy the whole URL because it has funky characters in it, let me manually select this crazy long monolithic URL that spans multiple adress field screens for you….oh never mind, lets just use IBM!”
