Re: #! in url???
It looks nice. Anything with a # would work but somebody chose #! and others realized it looked cool.
All that stuff is JavaScript driven which means normally a "page" can't be linked to. So their code also modifies the URL in such a way that (a) it doesn't actually navigate the page and (b) can be copy/pasted somewhere and works.
