Twitter moving away from hashbang URLs

This is such good news for the web that it gets its own blog entry. According to Dan Web, an engineer at Twitter:

@timhaines plus, now I'm in charge of undoing twitters hashbang URLs I can 

    confirm that all the issues in that article are very real.

@danwrong x months from now (when your project completes) Twitter will no 

    longer use hashbangs?

@timhaines correct. All gone. It was a mistake for several reasons. 

    PushState or bust.

The whole conversation is here:

And in case you've forgotten, here's why hashbangs suck.
