I am proud to say that an onion ring has more fans on Facebook than Stephen Harper does. As I write this there are 30,136 people who are fans of Stephen Harper. There are 73,600 fans of this onion.

I only noticed this tonight, but it seems like Facebook has added functionality for tagging other Facebookers.

Over the weekend Facebook released an update for their website that allows users to select a vanity URL for their profile. Luckily by the time I managed to get about to choosing my Facebook alias GregPike.ca was still available.

Facebook has always been strict to make sure people don’t create profiles with silly names, or even names of businesses or groups, and that will remain the same. But moving forward as of June 13th People will be allowed to use aliases.

Your alias will have to be alpha-numeric (plus periods) and it can be used as a direct method to access your Facebook profile page. That is, you will no longer need that 9-digit id in your Facebook web address.
