tumbledry.org: Screw Hashbangs: Building the Ultimate Infinite Scroll

Anybody that has even casually coded JavaScript over the past two years can tell you the story: Google proposed using the hashbang (#!) to enable stateful, crawlable AJAX pages. This proposal caught on. But at its root, the hashbang is a messy solution to a difficult problem: JavaScript is capable of creating an entire application, but browsers are still gaining the ability to update the URLs in their address bars to represent application state. (IE’s progress in this regard is abysmal and inexcusable).
