I don’t think the five character limit applies to all. At least there are exceptions. check out /mike and /mark.

I just checked out the help page on this and under eligibility it doesn’t mention the 1,000 fan limit. I wonder if they dropped that based on user feedback. Here’s what it says.

Eligibility is limited to anyone who joined Facebook before usernames were publicly announced at 3 p.m. (EDT) on June 9, 2009. These users will have the chance to claim usernames at 12:01 a.m. (EDT) on Saturday, June 13, 2009.

This limitation is temporary. All users who joined Facebook after the cut-off will be eligible to claim usernames on Sunday, June 28, 2009.

It’s apparent to me that facebook is making sure that companies who have more than 1000 fans will benefit from their page rank through these vanity urls, BECAUSE those are the very companies who facebook thinks will also benefit THEIR page rank.

Small companies, even those that have a good pagerank are screwed.

Thanks facebook.
