Facebook Update

[Samishlol]

Soon you will be able to have a username

Starting on 13 June, at 05:01, you'll be able to choose a username for your Facebook account to easily direct friends, family, and coworkers to your profile.
Check out the Facebook Blog for more information or send yourself an email with the details.

Seems like another feature is coming to Facebook, will be more easy to link to our profiles !

Yeah I saw that, dunno how much fun that's going to be though, just wish they'd put it back how it was before they ruined it with this crappy layout.

What time is that GMT?

I just saw this - It's good news and should be different.

Generally don't like usernames, they're easier to login I suppose but the problem with Bebo was everyone was called X-Hot-Girl-99-X so I had no idea who they were. The thing with Facebook is everyone is called by their full name rather than these lame nicknames and usernames.

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.

That's why I was asking lol. Get up early to get a good name :8.

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

So people can link to their Facebook profiles easier?

I'd rather be able to give someone a URL to someone like www.facebook.com/WilliamH as opposed to something like www.facebook.com/9123821310.

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
