I went into this article strongly disagreeing but I think the alternative presented at the end are valid ways to structure an API and for those who very loosely follow REST structuring would probably consider the alternatives "REST" too.
REST seems to have different definitions depending who you talk to. Some define it very strictly (as the opening of the article seems to do) and others define it very loosely (as a JSON interface with GET/POST/etc commands). For those who implement REST loosely, the suggested alternatives fit right in.
