URL ?? WHAT DOES IT MEANS?

DEFINITION !

The Uniform Resource Locator was created in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee and the URI working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an outcome of collaboration started at the IETF Living Documents "Birds of a Feather" session in 1992. The format combines the pre-existing system of domain names (created in 1985) with file path syntax, where forward slashes are used to separate folder and file names. Conventions already existed where server names could be prepended to complete file paths, preceded by a double-slash (//)

URLs as locators

A URL is a URI that, "in addition to identifying a resource, provides a means of locating the resource by describing its primary access mechanism (e.g., its network location)"

p/s : When you go to a Web page, the URL of that page is everything that is showing up in the address window of your browser including the http:// and all that comes after it.Also Known As: Uniform Resource Locator, Web site address 

Examples: If I give you the URL of my Web site you will be able to come see what I've done with it.
