How many people type the whole URL and how many access it over Google, QR code, or from other site? This is good if content is unique. I find URLs with dates useful when I want to quickly assess how fresh is the content.
I often find articles that don't have the date at all, and the information turns out to be really out of date. Is hiding the date some kind of SEO trend?
I own a 3-letter domain with a 2-letter TLD and still spells my family name. Many of my friends finds it cool when I share links via that domain. The links are indeed easy to remember but it comes at a higher yearly cost of renewal and I had forgotten to renew twice. Luckily, I was able to re-register them (nobody wants it, ;-)).

I don't like this at all - there is value in a hierarchical naming structure - even if it doesn't represent actual directories . A simple example is: https://www.kozubik.com/ ... where you can find "items": https://www.kozubik.com/items/ ... and one thing inside of "items" is an article on NDS emitters: https://www.kozubik.com/items/nds/ ... which contains supporting multimedia objects: https://www.kozubik.com/items/…
"items" isn't very useful. Have either: example.com/ or, if categories exist: example.com/ /

If you've got a CMS, I suppose you could do both: store each article in its hierarchical place, but also give each article (or each article you consider important enough to share, but I would hope that's all of them) a short name through which it can easily be remembered and shared.

You can't determine the file system structure from the URLs. The can map directly, but they don't have to Also... http?
Why not http? Secure connections add overhead. It's not like this site contains any secrets?

http is still susceptible to man in the middle attacks even if the site contains no secrets. You have no guarantee that the contents of the website haven't been tampered with (not that attackers would have much incentive to tamper with a blog).
But I admit it's a valid reason to have https.

My name is Dan Blows, and my domain is da.nblo.ws, which I thought was the coolest thing ever. Most people are confused or don’t even notice it.
