it's a google invention. this way you can tell google bots that you have content in javascript. there is documented somewhere on google forums.

as a side question to this, other than that strange char set in the URL, does both twitter and facebook use traditional PHP methods for extracting information from their databases? as in query strings, etc...?

depend on what do you mean by traditional, :)
i don't know too much about this subject, :) you can find some documentation for both( is public available for developers) but this way you can find only how you can intereact with the server, which is obvious, http, :).
