Howto Get a 1 Hour Reminder Before Facebook Opens Vanity Urls Creation
Just read on TheNextWeb that Facebook is about to allow users to switch from profile urls like http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1234567890 to http://www.facebook.com/username. Awesome, right? They will open up the registration on Saturday, June 13. On the registration page there’s currently nothing, but a countdown until registration is open.
If you have a common name and you’re afraid that your username will be taken (like I do), you probably want some alert before the countdown reaches 0. Well, that’s exactly why I created the @fbname Twitter bot.
Just follow @fbname and it will DM you 1 hour before the registration of vanity urls is actually available on Facebook.
Enjoy
