I would wager that 95% of web users do not even know that IA exists, let alone that they can use it.

As long as it's the only thing a browser will consider to retrieve information, yes. Which is why cool URIs don't change.

You are far too optimistic. It's probably more like 99.999999%


> 99.999999%

That would mean only 80-odd people know about IA, which seems a tad low :P

I suppose that means that for most people, 99.9999% of the world's population don't know they exist. Interesting thought. I wonder which living person is known of by the largest percentage, and what that percentage is?


LOL you're right. 99.9%


Hipsters are going to start measuring themselves in nines of obscurity.
