Facebook Joins in the Vanity

The buzz was still stirring over the keynote presentation at the Worldwide Developer's Conference yesterday afternoon, but it didn't cast a shadow on a huge announcement made by Facebook. Beginning on Friday June 12 at 9:01pm Facebook users will be able to choose a vanity URL. I personally believe vanity URL's are extremely useful (from MySpace and Twitter experience) I wonder why Facebook has waited this long to implement this change. Now, its expected that there will be plenty of complaints and disappointed users since the fight for the same URL will be diabolical.

All I have to say is if your name is Crystal Gibson - watch out on Friday night because I will claim my preferential username...or else.

Partio Time

Par-ti-o. noun; the congregation of like minded individuals to party and celebrate in debauchery on a patio.

If you follow me on Twitter, you know that the term 'partio' (created by @clickflickca) is ubiquitous.  In the next coming weeks @clickflickca, @da187suspect, @aldrichsilva and myself (@crystalgibson) will be working diligently to organize a partio event.  There aren't too many details yet, but I promise it will be a tweetup not to be missed.  

Next time you're tweeting definitely spread the word by using the hashtag #partio and feel free to message any one of us with idea or questions.

Stay tuned!
