I've noticed a couple of sites have been adopting a certain style of url paths wherein the path seems to be dynamic. An example is a digg user profile url (http://digg.com/users/mrbabyman/history). You can see that mrbabyman looks like a directory, as does history, but both are complete urls. I'm guessing digg doesn't make a new directory for each one of its users, so how do they do it? All I'm looking for is what this is called so I can research it on my own. Thanks!

It is URL rewriting, a part of .htaccess
