Can't it work both ways? Serve the #! links and provide canonical content located at the (almost) same uri sans #!.
If you visit http://mysicksite.com/article/1 javascript changes all the links to the #! format. Then when the user clicks the links they enter #! land.
Now the user copies a link from their address bar and puts it into the wild. Someone gets that link, http://mysicksite.com/#!/article/1, and visits it. Rewrite with htaccess or whatever method you employ to serve the content at http://mysicksite.com/article/1, using javascript to change all the links to the #! format.
I posted this in the reddit thread about the Gawker/lifehacker problems recently, but was too late for anyone to really give me a response. For those of you that have worked with these kind of systems before, would this solve the problem the original link was describing?
EDIT: Ahh I think I get the problem now, of course after I post it. Server doesn't get the data from the uri trailing the #! I think?
