Facebook Plunges Again
Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Login to Facebook with your vanity URL
Here's a bit of ground breaking news for you. Facebook, known for their popular social networking website and recently flurry of product and service enhancements, has made possibly the biggest change yet. With over 50 million vanity names reserved since the social networking website started allowing users to pick their own unique URL, they have now announced that the names can be used to sign in as well.
Now, instead of having to remember an entire email address, XoXoSuperGirl111 or Bob or whatever name you chose can be used to login with. For me, that whole @me.com was a killer to remember.
You'll still be able to login using your email, mobile phone number or through a Facebook Connect website as always, this just adds another (more convenient?) way to sign in. I guess it's good that Facebook is keeping themselves balanced. After all, it'd be awful if all they did was release new features and functionality. That would almost be too much.

When does this start? ... because my vanity name doesn't work like this article says it should.

Fyrewerx,
According to Facebook - this is a feature that has already been "rolled out". However, like most Facebook features, it may take a little extra time to get to all users.

You have just made me so happy...I got locked out of my account through an email mix-up and couldn't get through to support, and this just got me back in to my old account (I had to make a new one) for the first time in months! Now I just have to consolidate the two :\ ...If you hadn't reported it I probably wouldn't have known - thanks!
