I still don't understand why Twitter doesn't use that where available.


Because when Twitter started, pushState wasn't available to them. It will take time to transition over, and to fully deprecate hash bangs.

(Hash Bangs were still the wrong way to do it of course, even back then).


They are working on that right now: http://engineering.twitter.com/


FYI, GitHub uses it extensively in their source browser: https://github.com/blog/760-the-tree-slider
