So after my wild and crazy Friday night was drawing to a close, a little alarm on my phone reminded me that it was high time for the Facebook username land rush. In case you were unaware, Facebook had previously given all users URLs that were an indecipherable set of numbers.

1. /thephiladelphiainquirer

2. /indyhall

3. /benfranklin

4. /mayornutter

5. /firstroundcapital

6. /metssuck
