how do you feel about this
Soon you will be able to have a username Starting on Friday, June 12th, at 9:01pm, 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. |

Hate it. Lack of usernames is what made facebook bearable.

Stupid. Who the hell would search for you by your username? Someone who knows you by your username ought to know your real name, so it's totally unnecessary. Now I have to deal with the xXsExiiChIcKaXx usernames that will ultimately flood Facebook. God, what next, profile customization?
Also, have to fight off the other 461 people with my name so I can get a semi-decent username on Friday, one that won't embarrass me if someone important happens to search me up. Ugh. |

For real, I dunno what I'm gonna do. On one hand, I'd like to keep my internet identity separate from my offline identity. If Peter Parker had facebook, he wouldn't sign up with the username SP1D3RM4N for fear of having Aunt May hunted down and killed by the Green Goblin.
But then again, I don't want some random jackass taking kryo and soiling mah good name. Batman didn't like it when random dudes wore ghetto ass batman suits and fought crime in his name. I don't want random ninjas posing as me (I'M LOOKING AT YOU STEVEN). So I gotta think about protecting mah turf. |

I went back to YTMND for the first time in a couple years and the amount of activity there was damn near intimidating. I had a hard time keeping up in the debate topics because so many people were responding at once with well presented rebuttals. |

I really don't like the fact there is going to be a username now.
I feel it's going to become tacky and slowly turn into a myspace or something. Where people will use stupid unnecessary signs and symbols with their username. unlike button ftw |

Xanga, where you can blog about total bullshit and have it featured on the front page the next day.

the point is obviously being missed. like tori said, it'll be in the url. this means, that if you know someone's username, you can type it in, rather than searching. it's A LOT EASIER than remembering the number id someone has. it has nothing to do with the actual name on your facebook.

^ Yeah I get what the point is, but it doesn't cut down on the time at all or make it more convenient for me. Personally I have no trouble typing in someone's name in search if I need to go to their profile. This is just a useless addition IMO.
I'm not really against it, since this would be all great if people had respectable, readable usernames, but it's the inevitability of annoying usernames that pisses me off. And what are the chances that I remember all of my friends by username? It's also the dilemma between squatting for my previous awesome username or picking something with my full name. Numbers were just easier. |
