CamelCase Wednesday: Hump day

by MarkDilley on 1 April 2009

CamelCase example
We are doing an April series to talk about the importance of CamelCase in wiki. In this first post we outline the main reason why we do this at AboutUs.org.

We format domain names (websites) in CamelCase to make them easier to read. Here is a real life example I found on the internet:
TimeToTalk.org

Having the letters all lower case works for the internal workings of the internet, but it looks like programming code and we think it makes normal people’s eyes glaze over.

We think this is a lot easier to read:

PresidentOfTheUnitedStates.com

than: presidentoftheunitedstates.com

If you are familiar with CamelCase, show of your favorite examples – if you aren’t please ask questions or check out the next three CamelCase Wednesday posts in our series.
