Re: Routing techniques

i would not recommand that
usually http://my.website.com/user/[username]/ or http://my.website.com/profile/[username]/
is the better approach

the main problem with your url is that you might get conflicts with
other routes
example:
a user registers with "images"

if you have a controller "images"
you would have the images on http://my.website.com/images
even if you add /profile etc it is at least still confusing

you should be able to accomplish that with custom routes, though
there might be more on that matter in the cookbook
