Gmail Kind Of Page Load

While working with Gmail the URLs seem to be like https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox. I observed that there is # symbol in URLs. Also Facebook, Twitter will load page content in the similar way without loadin开发者_如何学JAVAg entire page it just refreshes required block.

What kind of concept / technology they are using. Can we do so using JQuery? Will search engines can crawl page content in those scenarios?

A jQuery framework that does this is the jQuery.history plugin. It is indeed used (as the comment of marcgg states) by means of AJAX. A tutorial for this can be found here, in its most simple form:
