You can use subdomains for various purposes. One is to host different servers (eg mail.example.com and www.example.com), or to host different applications (eg [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
I believe Basecamp use it to have nicer URLs. The standard way would be: //www.example.com/~rockroll/..., or //www.example.com/...?user_id=123456 //rockroll.example.com/... looks nicer.
