On my current site that I’m developing, I am just appending #whatever to my url, so http://www.example.com/product#doughdough or http://www.example.com/product#sweet
Don’t get me wrong, it works fine and functions great when using the back button, but I’m curious to see if there are any other “creative” ways of presenting it? Maybe something like http://www.example.com/products/#/doughdough or http://www.example.com/#/products/doughdough? Do the added slashes change anything?
The hash technique has many problems, so many that Twitter has stopped using it, switch to using the history API which lets you have real URIs to fall back to a (search engine friendly) server side solution with.
