If you haven’t been told already, Facebook is allowing its users to finally choose an appropriate personal URL for their Facebook profiles. This means that if you’ve got a common name, you’ll want to do this ASAP so that you can stake claim in having facebook.com/yournamehere before anybody else with your same name.

Luckily for me, I’m only competing with a handful of Herman Yung’s on Facebook which means I got my vanity URL pretty easily. But if you’re crazy about maintaining your online identity, you’ll want to snag a Facebook profile URL right away, so head on over to this link and get started.

Election night photos on Flickr from Obama’s personal photographer

November 7, 2008 @ 1:50 pm

In another show of how tech-savvy and connected the next administration might be, President-elect Barack Obama’s personal photographer uploaded many intimate images of Obama and some of his campaign staff on election night to Flickr rather than to a mainstream media outlet.

According to Lost Remote, the popularity of the images subsequently caused the crash of Flickr. This next President sure is popular.

I’m really excited to see how Obama’s administration will make information government information more accessible to the masses via the internet. So far, I feel like he’s already doing a pretty good job.
