Facebook Update

[Fifteen]

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"

[Trinity]

It'll be facebook.com/user/USERNAMEHERE rather than facebook.com/USERNAMEHERE...

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.

What time is that GMT?

4am GMT i'm guessing?

I think you have to use you real name I think.

[Jordy]

Yep, 5:01am GMT.

http://www.facebook.com/username/

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.

What's wrong with using a unique email? I mean this is only gonna end up with people having nicknames like hotboi:.:>23dd

Your only allowed A-Z 0-9 and "." so I doubt you will get names like that ">" ":"

People will have to use real names

How do you know people will have to use their real names?

[Excellent2]

Not going to go for anything fancy.. perhaps my nickname.
