One Minute In and Facebook Meets Cheap Hotels and More!

Last night was like Times Square at New Year’s for geeks. Everyone sat at their computer waiting for the stroke of midnight to claim their new exciting URL on Facebook.

Interestingly enough, it seemed like it only took one minute before some “people” started to claim some interesting names. Some are calling the names below spam – I guess only time will tell if they picked these vanity URLs for fun or for something more serious.

The list includes (both with the dot and without):

• /free.porn
• /freeporn
• /online.gambling
• /onlinegambling
• /buy.phentermine – Todd says he registered this one as a joke and he agrees with my previous posts regarding domain branding
• /buyphentermine
• /cheapairfares
• /cheap.airfares
• /cheap.hotels
• /cheaphotels
• /cheapcruises
• /cheap.cruises
• /freeipod
• /free.ipod

Have you found anything else that seems odd with the Facebook Vanity URLs? Leave them below in the comments and I will add them to the list.
