Hmm

So supposedly today's the day you are meant to be able to snaffle your very own vanity URL on stalkbook (facebook.com/*username*). There's been a banner announcement on the top of the news page for days, articles in the popular press, etc etc.

But now? Announcement gone from your news feed, and while http://www.facebook.com/help.php?ref=pf still has a notice stating

"Starting at 12:01 a.m. (EDT) on Saturday, June 13, 2009, you will be able to select a username at http://www.facebook.com/username. For more information, visit the Username help topic."

the linked help page is devoid of content.

(eta - as Justin just pointed out on my FB status comment, we're still half an hour out..) Still amused at sudden lack of information..

Oh, and the http://www.twitpocalypse.com/ seems to have been and gone without the sky falling. (tweet UID's exceeded 2**31).

ETA again - just snaffled http://facebook.com/shrydar . As per notsomighty, not like that one was ever in doubt, but I thought I'd explicitly decline christopher.phillips1 (as my brother says - '1' really means '2'), and christopherp just sounds like it ends with 'ferp'.
