I would love to see eidogo use query parameters to identify games, like this:

http://eidogo.com/?game=abcdefg

instead of (or alternative to) the current implementation which uses fragment identifiers

http://eidogo.com/#abcdefg

This would solve a problem on reddit (which uses eidogo.com quite a bit), where reddit only allows a single story to link to a given page. Fragments are intended to identify a location in a page, rather than a separate page, so reddit currently sees all games as the same page, but using unique query strings would allow sites like reddit to distinguish between different games.
