Posterous' Simple URL Shortening Method

Ever wonder how Posterous shortens URLs? It was accidently revealed by @drummondjessica's post-a-rama today.

Five characters positions cycled through the alphabet in each position, first in uppercase, then in lower. Easy and simple...and provides over 380,000,000 unique URLs.
