Facebook Update

Me and my friend were talking about Facebook irl and I almost asked him what is your Facebook username, instead it is like "I'll Facebook you"

Otherwise whoever registers the username 'Home' will get an awful lot of page views ;)

No, it's facebook.com/USERNAME, says so on the blog.
Obviously they won't let you use words like 'Home' as a username.

this is going to suck.

I just saw that, seems a good idea will be so much easyer to find peoples profiles. Hopfully they dont bring out a suprise new layout and ruin facebook even more with it though.

Here's the URL to choose your username. All the good ones will go within minutes. :(

edit: it says if you signed up after 31st May, then you won't be able to choose a username straight away. Hopefully that will stop people signing up for loads of names.

I make it 05:01 BST actually according to the timer.
