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

Hubski is based off of news.arc and the arc server doesn't make clean URLs easy, at least not that I've seen yet.

Aren't those GET requests?

I think he meant ids or slugs in the url as opposed to query string parameters. You are correct that both are GET request.
