The responsive CSS that comes with B.S. defines what happens as the
viewport gets smaller for you if you use their span structure. You may want
to start with basic examples on your own. Create the appropriate HTML5
page, add a div for the class container, div for the class row, and then 2
divs.. span9 and span3. Then make the page smaller. Also, their examples
show a few basic layouts. Just view the source of each, copy, paste, and
make it your own..

Also, on the scaffolding page, there is information on the responsive
basics, as well as to easily hide / show on different sized screens..

You can also add the base CSS media structure into your own CSS:

/* normal size screen goes here 980-1199px */

/* Large desktop */
@media (min-width: 1200px) { ... }

/* Portrait tablet to landscape and desktop */
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) { ... }

/* Landscape phone to portrait tablet */
@media (max-width: 767px) { ... }

/* Landscape phones and down */
@media (max-width: 480px) { ... }


If you want your own styling to be 2 floating columns that go under each
other on small screens, you can create:

/* normal size screen goes here 980-1199px */
.col-one { width:600px;float:left;}
.col-two { width:200px;float:left;}

/* Landscape phones and down */
@media (max-width: 480px) {
.col-one { width:100%;float:none;}
.col-two { width:100%;float:none;}
}

If you are looking for specific information on what bootstrap is "doing"
here, you will want to search for responsive design. Bootstrap is a
framework that leverages / normalizes responsive design. Following their
framework makes it easy to develop basic layouts. But learning about
responsive design itself will help you be more creative as you create your
design.

I checked that site you mentioned. They do not seem to be using
"bootstrap", but are certainly leveraging  something to give them the
responsive design you are seeing. You should be able to do the same type
thing with B.S. with some creative thinking.

Hope this helps. I know its kinda random info.. but its late and I am tired
:)
