july 2010 by ohskylab
"This new feature offers you a way to change the URL displayed in the browser* through javascript without reloading the page. It will also create a back-button event and you even have a state object you can interact with. This means you won’t have to use the hash-hack anymore if you want add state to your AJAX-application, and search engines will be able to index your pages too." Not IE, of course.

YouTube API Blog: Upcoming Change to YouTube Video Page URLs
march 2010 by ohskylab
"The ? character in the URL will be replaced with #! characters. Not all users will be directed to the new URLs, and the change will be implemented gradually over time. This change is part of a larger AJAX rewrite of the YouTube web site. The old-format URLs will continue working indefinitely when used for browser navigation, so if your web site has existing links to YouTube video pages, you don't need to worry about them breaking."
