On Friday, June 12th, at 9:01pm (PST), you really need to grab your Facebook username so that you can easily direct family, clients, friends and co-workers to your profile.
When you go to the Facebook Username Page on that day and time you will be able to register your name (if it’s available) and if you are successful and your username was John Smith, then you could end up with the URL http://www.facebook.com/JohnSmith
Now this process is going to work on a first come first served basis so if your name was John Smith then you may be out of luck if that name has already been claimed by another John Smith.
If you are trying to brand yourself as a therapist with your own name then I feel that this is really worth the effort.
My concern is that on that day when the doors open, will Facebook’s servers be able to handle the volume of Facebook users trying desperately to grab their name.
Check out the Facebook Blog for more information.
All for now
