I Just Took Your Facebook Vanity URL, Mwahahaha!

In an email today, Facebook told me “We wanted to let you know that we decided to reserve usernames for the key journalists and outlets we work with…”

So Facebook causes the riot anticipation and then feeds the fire via preferential treatment, great. I can see them reserving company and brand names but individual bloggers should fend for themselves like everyone else.

What do you think about this?
