Get your unique Facebook username while you can!

As of 5am 13th June 2009 Facebook now lets you register a unique username with your account.

For example if you want to direct someone to your facebook page all you have to do now is give them this link: facebook.com/username

So if you use facebook and would like to take advantage of a unique username, you can do so via the below link.

This is first come first served so be quick if you want your real name or a nickname you often use.

www.facebook.com/username

Re: Get your unique Facebook username while you can!

Don't forget to try "more", as the default is your name with a "." in the middle - I found that my (and my daughter's, son's, and wife's) names with the "." were available (firstnamelastname, rather than firstname.lastname).

If you choose firstname.username, without the dot also redirects to your profile :tu:

Facebook has now quietly added the ability to change your username after originally saying you couldn't.

To change your profile’s username, go to Settings > Account Settings, and next to Username, click Change.

I think there are some privacy concerns about this facebook.com/username feature - Google searches being one of them.

Set you profile to friends only if your concerned about privacy issues. (#29)
