The James Kilgour BlogA Life Blog.

Today, I reserved my Facebook “Vanity URL”: at 7:30 in the morning. So, from now on I’m facebook.com/kilgour!

That’s right: I got my surname! Of cause, a lot of Kilgour’s in the world are related to me, I guess it’s really not a common surname. But still.

What the whole Vanity URL shows is that there are a lot of vain people in the world. Because really, there isn’t that much need for these urls.  Why can’t people just do what they always did; use each other’s emails to find each other?

Anyway, I’m happy to have my new URL. I’m not even a serial Facebook user; in fact I almost never use it, apart from once a month or so. I find it boring. (That’s probably the ultimate sin, right?) But i felt compelled to stop anyway else using my surname.

Which in itself is vain.
