I've seem a largish company everyone here knows of, try this and have it fail, because of various weird client things, and also eventually run out of space in the hash. It's a neat hack but I wouldn't rely on it.

Oh boy, hashbangs are back.

The first one that comes to mind was twitter...

I think LinkedIn won the stuffedURLbufferOverflow Olympics back in the day.
They failed as a company?
Still around doing, eh fine. But they abandoned the url hash params with an id that references params on the backend (a mess!)
