Whoa - great news today ... Facebook is finally launching Facebook Usernames - www.facebook.com/username/ - where YOU, yes YOU get to pick your custom vanity URL. Holy crow it's about time!!!
No more funky link with a long number at the end ...

Now, if I go to www.facebook.com/username/ at 12:01 am on Saturday, June 13th, 2009 - I can get my own name ... or a variation of my name that FB suggests. It's important to note that the usernames are on a first come/first serve basis, so I KNOW you will all be logging into FB at 11:59 on Friday, June 12th to get your name!
Why bother? It's all about being Google-tastic. Getting to the top of the heap. The same reasons we create a vanity URL for LinkedIn, set up a Google Profile and so on ...
So - my advice - get online and get your FB vanity URL. Have I ever led you astray??? No.
