So many losers hang out on Facebook... 
June 11 (Bloomberg) -- Tomorrow night may be a late one for some Facebook users.
The worldâs largest social-networking site is offering people the chance to claim a personalized Web address beginning at midnight New York time on a first-come, first-served basis. The planâs announcement two days ago sparked a frenzy among users planning to grab their names.
David Whittemore, 25, typically hangs out at bars on Friday nights with his friends. This week, heâll be at his computer, ready to take his name when the clock strikes midnight.
âItâs going to be a land grab,â said Whittemore, who works for a finance startup in New York. âIâm definitely going to be staying home.â
Jacquie Brennan, a 57-year-old attorney in Houston, says sheâs trying for the name âiJac,â because sheâs a fan of Apple Inc. products. If she canât get that, sheâll settle for âMoreMerlot.â
âYou can bet that if everyone else has a cool name, I am going to have one too,â said Brennan, whoâs been on Facebook for more than a year and has the site open on her computer all day.
