Well, the clock is ticking, folks. As of this post, there's just over 12 hours left until hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Facebook users will try to claim their vanity URL. At 12:01 a.m. ET on Saturday, June 13, you can log onto facebook.com/username to claim a vanity URL (facebook.com/WHATEVER) for your profile or page that you administer.

My prediction is that Facebook will crash at exactly 12:02 a.m. -- no doubt. And perhaps, as John Battelle pointed out, we're making a bigger deal out of this than is necessary. Already, everyone's trying to grab up as many Twitter account names in the same fashion as they did with Web site names ten years ago. At any rate, I'll be online trying to get mine and will most likely be kicked off due to traffic.
