This just a general thing, but facebook/twitter happened to use it so I was wondering.

How does

facebook.com/bsharp42
twitter.com/bsharp42


work ?? I currently have my site set up as

mysite.com/profile.php?q=bsharp42

and want to enable mysite.com/bsharp42

for the sake of my users (if any...ha....ha....)

Assuming that you are using Apache, search for mod_rewrite and clean URLs.
