The Basics
When you send Monero to someone you only need one piece of information, and that is their Monero address. A raw Monero address is a set of 95 characters starting with a '4'. The Monero donation address, for instance, is 44AFFq5kSiGBoZ4NMDwYtN18obc8AemS33DBLWs3H7otXft3XjrpDtQGv7SqSsaBYBb98uNbr2VBBEt7f2wfn3RVGQBEP3A.
Because those addresses are long and complex you will often encounter an @OpenAlias address instead. For example, Monero donations can be sent to donate@getmonero.org or donate.getmonero.org.
If you would like to get an @OpenAlias address of your own then there is some information on the OpenAlias page.
Integrated address
An integrated address is an address combined with an encrypted 64-bit @payment-ID. A raw integrated address is 106 characters long.
In-depth Information
The address is actually the concatenation, in Base58 format, of the public @spend-key and the public @view-key, prefixed with the network byte (the number 18 for Monero) and suffixed with the first four bytes of the Keccac-256 hash of the whole string (used as a checksum).
