I loved the site hosting the slides—does anybody here have an invite or the ability to setup a new account? Would be much obliged.

I'm glad that designers are starting to see the problems with page state that's not tied to URL state. Nearly all the sites I've seen using #! state have got this wrong.

You have to be specific as to what state you're referring to; should color changes and element position be tied to a URL?

The infinite scroll example he linked to in the presentation is very nice. Putting the max_id in the URL is a great way to save the state.

the idea is good, but the implementation (from user perspective) is not 100% correct. try scroll somewhere, say you see text "My dad just told me I'll get my late grandfather's cornet" on top and refresh the page, you will see different stuff.
