    I dont know if this has been posted here before but facebook vanity URL's launched tonight 40 minutes ago.

    www.facebook.com/example instead of www.facebook.com/34593709573509473

    This is huge for marketing of everything as the facebook page will rank high in search engines.

    you can choose any name. they blocked "tens of thousands" of celebrity names, famous names, trademarks, company names, etc already so dont try these.

    you can only use a log in (email) that you registered before june 9th, so you cant squat anything.

    it is first come first serve so hurry up with your accounts.


    Visit http://www.facebook.com/username/ from your accounts to register the name.

    I just got my new url, so i did a check of the url's, looks like both the full stop and non full stop both point to the same account.

    www.facebook.com/my.name

    www.facebook.com/myname

    Or can someone grab the same name without the full stop?
