Facebook Adding Vanity URL Names – Don’t Wait!
Let the gold rush begin Friday night at 9:01pm…Finally, Facebook has joined the ranks of most other social networking sites. On Friday night, Facebook will allow you to have your personalised vanity URL for your Facebook profile.
Instead of http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=615109271
You can now have http://www.facebook.com/stevekhart
You can sign up for a username starting at 9:01 p.m. PDT on Friday, June 12, 2009, by visiting http://www.facebook.com/username/. After selecting one for your application or company name, you will see a green check mark indicating that the name is available before you actually claim it.
Consisting of at least five characters (alphanumeric or full stop) the ability to register your http://www.facebook.co.uk/username will become available on 12:01am EDT on Saturday June 13th, so if you really want your name (and it happens to be John Smith) then I’d get there quickly as they’ll probably be gone pretty quick in this Facebook vanity URL land rush.
To stop people from getting a load of names this will only be available to accounts that are already open and active, and you will also need to be careful about what you choose because they will not be able to be changed after selection.
