Special chars in url

[s3nzo]

Anyone knows what's the function of "#!" in a url? Like both facebook and twitter use these in their urls and if i google

inurl:#!

google returns nothing, anyone knows what purpose these signs serve?

if you use a safety page before the url to stop refferer eg: <a href="pageout.php?url=http://twitter.com/#!/s3nzoM">http://twitter.com/#!/s3nzoM</a>
then on pageout.php you have got echo '<a href="'.$_GET['url'].'">'.$_GET['url'].'</a> the link will only show as http:/ /twitter.com/ unless you use url encode. however if you have your bb codes set up in array you cant use url encode xD
