What does the sharp and exclamation mark (#!) stand for in a url? Don't even know how to look for an answer

I have seen these "domain.com/#!/" formated urls, and driven merely by curiosity I chose to ask you people... what is that used for? A kinda "exclamated-hashtag" if you know what I mean. I see it on sites such as "hypem.com" or "buzzchips.com", both of them delivering asynchronous dynamic content in a similar way.

I uploaded a tiny shot just so you actually see what I see, here and there.

What effect do the exclamation marks (!) Have?

An exclamation mark usually shows strong feeling, such as surprise, anger or joy. Using an exclamation mark when writing is rather like shouting or raising your voice when speaking. Exclamation marks are most commonly used in writing quoted speech.

It appears to be a standard for allowing dynamically created content to be crawled.
