Facebook Vanity URL: The Race to Claim Your Name

Blogged by Antwon Davis On 4:01 PM



LATEST NEWS:

On this coming Friday at midnight, Facebook is opening up its doors for its new Facebook Vanity URL.

Ok, here's a little homework...

"A vanity URL is a domain name, created to point to something to which it it related and indicated in the name of the URL. A vanity URL is used to link to something that would be easier to remember than a random link or a link with a lot of numbers and letters
."

Why is this so important?

For months, Facebook users have complained about having a long and very impersonal Facebook URL (i.e. http://www.new.facebook.com/profile.php?id=567830988).

Facebook has finally relinquished its position and will be offering the ability to get a personalized URL (i.e.
http://www.new.facebook.com/______).

Here's the catch,

It's on a first-come, first-serve basis.

So, at 12:00am Saturday morning, the race begins. Make sure you're by a computer with access to the web to secure your personalized URL. I know I will.

No more ID numbers. WHOOT!!!
