Where/why/when did this trend start? I saw it first on Twitter and Facebook, then the Gawker family of sites, and now it's spreading to other media outlets like Ars here.

First place I noticed it was "New" Twitter. This article was posted on HN a little while after Gawker changed their design which explains why it was implemented and why it shouldn't have to begin with:

And it's discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2196160
I'll put an offer out to the community. If you guys can provide me with a list of urls for sites that use the hash-bang, and that have normal url equivalents, I'll write an extension, site, or javascript bookmarklet that auto-corrects these.
