Initially claiming a Vanity URL has its setbacks especially if somebody has beaten you to the punch.

Many social media websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Foursquare, and most recently, Google+ offer users and brands the option to customize their google plus profile URLs.

One more thing, Vanity URLs should be thought about carefully because most networks do not allow for any future edits.  This might be ok for newer company pages when likes are still at a minimum because you can still migrate to another account without losing much of your audience. But if your audience already runs in the thousands, guess there would always be losses in the process of migration.
