Vanity URL Update: Facebook Increases Fan Page Minimum Twice in 2 Days!

by Kimberly on June 28, 2009

OMG, I can’t believe this.  Facebook once again increased the minimum number of fans required to claim a Fan Page Vanity URL.  They keep bouncing around.  Originally there was a 1,000 fan minimum.  Facebook said that minimum would be lifted on June 28th.

On June 27th, I noticed that Facebook had added a minimum requirement of 25 Fans.  And now, on June 28th, the exact same help page on Facebook says the following:

All Pages created after May 31, 2009 or that had less than 1,000 fans on that day will be eligible to claim usernames on Sunday, June 28, 2009 if they have more than 100 fans.

A hundred Fans!  What will they change it to in the next 9 minutes?

Looks like this is going to be a roller coaster ride…hang on Facebook fan page administrators, perhaps we’ll get a vanity URL one of these days!
