FaceBook Vanity Goldrush for Names, Yawn!
Big buzz on Twitter today and elsewhere about the ‘net is that FaceBook will begin implementing vanity urls at midnight Eastern U.S. time on June 13.
In other words, FB users will finally be able to direct people to their FaceBook page via a url similar to http://facebook.com/yourusername. Providing that your chosen user name is at least 5 characters long and is not someone else’s trademark. More here.
I’m a fairly avid FB’er. I have been since most of my kids and some of my friends finally got FaceBook accounts. It makes it easy to keep up with their lives when they post regularly (*big hint, kids!)
Regardless, I’m really having a hard time getting excited about this opportunity to have a great url.
Perhaps I’m blasé because, like Twitter, I use FaceBook for fun and not for business. Another reason could be that I already have an unusual name so I’m easily found via a search on FB. Whatever the reason, I hope I can shake it off long enough to think of a really great url :)
