Somewhere out there, Facebook addicts are frantically putting pen to paper, trying to think of the perfect name or phrase to go with their personality.  Why is that?  Because Facebook is going the way of west-coast kingpin MySpace!

No, I don’t mean that every Facebook profile will become a horrifyingly bad assortment of GIFs, cluttered HTML, ugly backgrounds, and the other browser-crashing goodies that Fox Interactive’s social networking site provides.  I mean, of course, vanity URLs.  Now, instead of being Facebook.com/(series of random numbers), you can now be Facebook.com/(stupid username that you’ll regret in 6 months).  Yay!

If you want to join the rest of the squatters in staking out a place in the digital wild west, be prepared to stay up late on Friday.  At 12:01 AM early Saturday morning, the registration frenzy will begin!  Be there, or be square.  (I’m choosing to be square.)
