How to decide between section/title URLs and /title only?
I’m wondering if there are cases where it’d be more appropriate to use /title only in my current work. Seems like it might be a good fit for smaller sites? Is that true?

What I also worry about is namespace collision – are you likely to use the same title twice? If not, then you can do it however you want. Probably the longer the title, the safer you are unless you have a tendency to repeat yourself.

Re: How to decide between section/title URLs and /title only?
The way I see it is that the URL scheme reflects your site’s structure. If the site in question doesn’t actually have/need a structure like /section-name/article-title (a ‘flat’ site), I use the /title mode. In general, these are the smaller, more static sites.
