Facebook adds "vanity" URLs

Facebook, social network

Finally Facebook have added username for profiles so that instead of having to bookmark a long URL with numbers in it you can now register a username and have that as your URL. Some people have commented on how this is a feature Facebook should have added from the start, and there are others who see it as clever marketing on Facebooks part as thousands flooded in and registered over 200,000 usernames in the first 3 minutes of them being available. From now on anyone wanting to find me on Facebook can do so by using http://www.facebook.com/davidgpaul/  (no guarentees whether I will add you to my friends list there though).
