they got the title Correct `Vanity Urls` because thats all they are.
For people who want to post links etc with their nick or name in it.
Do u really think people care about what is in the actual Url ?

yeah.. I can just say catch me on Facebook, under wayne.luke instead of trying to remember a number or search. Heck, I can remember my own URL now. Before I always had to go to Facebook and click on Profile to see what the URL to my profile was.

I had a hard time finding my own brother on there because there are so many users with his name and his lack of information that he posts for the public.

I'm so glad to have my name rather than just a faceless number in the crowd.
