Yep, I grabbed mine and one for each of my kids (of course, they were out with friends on a Friday night!) at 9:00 Friday when they first allowed it.

ya me too. Right at midnight EST I was snagging names. First 3 I tried were instantly gone. I think they set aside the good ones like city/country names, and first names... ended up getting something underwhelming... lol

My wife tried to get the same name that she has on LiveJournal but it wasn't available. However it has the name of a flower that is also the source of a highly addictive narcotic in the name as well. And no, its not poppy or opium. Though it grows practically everywhere locally and is considered a protected species, making it illegal to pick it.

She had to settle for her first name. I just got first.last name which is what I have been using on all social networking sites or the variation of first_last.

I can't for the life of me see where I can choose a url.

it should be a message at the top when you log in?

www.facebook.com/username

we'll be able to name our pages too on the 28th
or if you had 1000 fans on your pages, you could get it the other night

Thankies ^_^

I now got tons of people who I don't know all going "Hey, you got my name!"

hAHAHA

I wonder if Jelsoft or vBulletin is taken :D

I can't get my name, and I don't feel that a pseudoname on facebook would make much sense so I'll just leave it as the numerical ID.
