its funny to look at who got vanity urls already - it's too bad it wasn't a fair game for all - FOF got them early - i guess it's just like twitter. - Allen Stern

That's not his profile, Allen, it's a "Fan Page" which Facebook has given vanity URLs for a while. Oprah has one too. - Jorge Escobar

thanks Jorge - how do you get one of those vanity urls? - Allen Stern

FOF == Friends of Facebook? I asked my contacts early on and got no response. :-( - Jesse Stay

Vanity URLs will point to either a personal profile or Page. - Jesse Stay

jesse - i even got a top FOF to ask and got no reply - these games are so stupid. but i guess they help facebook. i completely agree with marshall and will do a post later tonight about this - i have a semi-unique perspective after processing biz cards on cc. - Allen Stern

I'm not sure how they give away Fan pages, I believe Facebook picks them by hand - Jorge Escobar

if by "friendfeed" you mean "facebook" then I will add to what Jorge said: you need 1000+ friends to qualify for "fan page". My understanding, anyway, FWIW - Richard ¿digame? Walker

sorry FOF = friends of Facebook :) thanks Richard! - Allen Stern

@Allen, also edit the post title all the way to the top ^^ - Jorge Escobar

lol - the jetlag is hitting me now - sorry about that Jorge - Allen Stern

No problemo. You back in NYC? - Jorge Escobar

yep back in nyc - although i miss the huge king bed i had in the hotel :) - Allen Stern

Nah, I think it is based on that 1,000 followers rule. Anyone can create a fan page, you just need the followers. - Jorge Escobar

Jorge I have a fan page with greater than 1,000 followers and they wouldn't respond to me. I wrote 2 books on Facebook, and know a bunch of the executives there. It's about picking and choosing - loic got one, garyvee got one, techcrunch got one, allfacebook got one. They're being very selective. - Jesse Stay

I don't know guys, I feel like this might be a gold rush with little benefit after a couple of months. Facebook is almost like the last boat pulling into the harbor on this. - Brandon Mendelson

@Jesse, that's not right then. The moment they get into handpicking, it becomes disgusting - Jorge Escobar

sure thing :) - Richard ¿digame? Walker

dont forget julia allison got one, she's bffs with randi - it's the twitter default syndrome i believe. gary has not replied to my twitter message as of yet. - Allen Stern

I even tried to suck up to Randi and I didn't get one :-( - Jesse Stay

Maybe if I send her cupcakes... - Jesse Stay

don't go there jesse :-P - Allen Stern

I wrote some stuff about this here http://friendfeed.com/social-... and would love for you guys to chime in - Jorge Escobar
