I keep hearing about this.

Never heard of it before, but as luck would have it, here's a neat description:

And this:

I think this is best defined by example.

A "dirty" URL:

http://www.example.com/index.php?articleId=12345


A "clean" URL:

http://www.example.com/articles/12345

Oooh! Thanks. I knew it was something like that, but now I know what it really meant. I'll never learn enough of the internets.
