To resolve this problem, Facebook will start allowing users to choose “vanity URL” which will contain the name of the user. If you are called John Doe, for example, you should be able to facebook.com / johnd or facebook.com / john.doe or another combination of first and last name.
Well, you should be able to take those URLs, if it acts quickly. Facebook is the opening of the new URL to midnight Friday (EST) and have already officially stated that the work on a “first come, first served.
