Why some sites, most blogs, use title of the post in the url? As in:

http://www.geek.com.br/blogs/832697632/posts/9360-uni-o-europ-ia-pretende-apoiar-conex-o-universal-para-celulares

Will this improve google indexing?

EDIT: this is a duplicate of Why do some websites add “Slugs” to the end of URLs?

Also makes it very human readable. You can see a link and know what the content is going to be like. Whereas numbers mean nothing.

According to Robin, not only _human_readable, but search engine readable

It's very good to use page titles in your url, because Google, Yahoo etc. use this as a keyword.

No, they don't. Read the link in the comment I posted above.

They do, which is why it uses dashes instead of underscores since Google only uses a dash as a word delimiter.
