Could someone explain hash tag usage for deeplinking ajax applications?

Question

Hi There,

I am currently trying to full appreciate how and when to use hash tags in urls when building an ajax powered website. There seems to be a distinct lack of reading material on the web regarding this technique and as such I don't feel like I've got a good handle on it.

Could someone explain in the simplest terms how the hash tag can be used in urls to enable things like loading pages via ajax.

Thanks
