Facebook users, claim your username.
 
Today facebook has started allowing there members to chose there own user names.

What is a Facebook username?

You can personalize your Facebook URL (web address) by selecting a unique username. It will appear in the location bar of your browser after "http://www.facebook.com/" when you view your profile.

So now is a good time to claim your custom username for facebook. Claim it now and you might be able to have what you want.

i.e “joe bloggs" instead of “joe bloggs 254” because someone else has already chosen “joe bloggs”.

http://www.facebook.com/username.
You may have to be logged into your facebook account for the link above to work

Demo;
http://www.facebook.com/accylen

Good luck

:)

Thanks Len.

Pity you can't have a username and your real name.

Although I liked being Garinda, because there aren't many, no one could find me that didn't know me by this fairly recent nickname.

So I've recently reverted to my real name.

I like being slightly out of step with everyone else.:D

Re: Facebook users, claim your username.
 
I was a little confused...no suprise there!:p

I thought you'd lose your name for the username, but you don't.

My page still shows my name, but as the address garinda, instead of all those numbers.:)

Did wonder about that, the beauty of Facebook is that you can search out people by their real names ... so suppose you can still do this ?

Re: Facebook users, claim your username.
 
Doesnt work if you only know them by thier AW name Kate! :p

Er Entwisi please read post 9 of this thread :D

Tin Monkey 15-06-2009 05:46

Re: Facebook users, claim your username.
 
Apart from the simplified address, I can't see the benefit of this at all. I've just done a search for my username and it doesn't find me, so I can't see how it would help others.

entwisi 15-06-2009 10:00

Re: Facebook users, claim your username.
 
where as I am entwisi everywhere so people do know me as such.

entwisi 15-06-2009 11:43

Re: Facebook users, claim your username.
 
theres a heck of a lot of 7 letter words though..... :D

I'd be sorry if Accyman has done that just to 'spite' me, its not exactly the 'right' or community thing to do now is it.

not the end of the world but 'disappointing' would be my description.

I'll sell you t-e-h much cheaper.

:p:D:p

garinda 15-06-2009 11:55

Re: Facebook users, claim your username.
 
How weird.

Have we got an automatic spell checker on here now?

I typed t-e-h, without the dashes, and twice it was posted as 'the'.

Which sort of defeated the joke.

:D

entwisi 15-06-2009 12:30

Re: Facebook users, claim your username.
 
best is edit your post and it shows up as teh original incorrect spelling...
