Last Saturday, Facebook enabled custom profile URLs -also known as “vanity urls”- for user profiles (pages with over 1000 fans). Most people will have just chosen the firstname.lastname option as suggested by Facebook, but if you click “More”, you’ll see a field with the text “Enter desired username”.

Upside Down Facebook Day has officially ended in one half of the world, while the Americas and Canada still have a few hours left to go.

Lots of Facebook users, including myself, are being fooled today into believing they have a new unread message. But when checking the inbox, this message is completely unfindable. An internal bug is causing the Inbox message counter to mistakenly indicate one unread message too many.

Good news for Facebook addicted Xbox 360 owners. This fall, Microsoft will blend Facebook into the Xbox Experience interface, giving users access to photos, videos, and news feeds straight from their television sets.

Until last week, users had to split large collections of photos up into separate albums because of the album limit of 60 photos. But Facebook has now officially expanded the maximum number of photos in an album from 60 to 200… for everyone!

People, we’re gonna turn Facebook upside down for a day! Yes, we can. When? Flip 6/9 upside down and you get… 6/9! Similarly, turn 9/6 around 180° and you get 9/6 again. That’s why we will turn Facebook upside down on the 9th day of the 6th month: June 9th* 2009. This day will be known as UPSIDE DOWN FACEBOOK DAY!

I was just notified by one of our readers that his notifications under “People you might know” appear messed up. Instead of just saying how many friends are a fan of the suggested pages, Chris’ notifications read (and excuse me the offensive language): “x friends are double niggers are fans.”
