^ 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.


I agree.

Also, you have to pick a username that you would be comfortable with your boss/co-workers/family seeing.

edit:

which is a total pain in the bum.

Does anyone remember the original Facebook, without any news feeds or anything and you had to be invited by someone from your school? That was all so simple.

I liked it. The news feeds are effin' annoying and a total invasion of privacy.

Yes, exactly! Stalking people is fun though. Although it's like an unspoken rule that the people most worth stalking usually have their profiles set to private, lame.

meh. yeah, i think someone of the usernames will be really shitty, especially the crunk people who have their name set weird like 'straWBErrii shoRcakEE' or 'william irunthisshit smith'. but, i think it'll be more useful for others. fb is so huge now that you could probably even land a job from it. some companies even check your fb, so how convenient is it to share an easy url instead of telling them to search you. honestly, i think yall are giving it way too much hype. i don't see it being a big deal.

Totally forgot about the Facebook usernames, so I ended up with my second, crappier choice. I went the serious route rather than the very tempting awesome route. Oh well.

Hot damn you guys got good usernames!

Btw, just realized that the periods in the usernames make no difference. That is really irking me. It gives the false impression of more combinations of usernames. *smh*

I took one of the pre generated ones that involved my name. I was tempted to try index.php though.

I got my name as soon as the countdown when to 0.

I picked hypnotique, because i wanted to make some other person miserable seeing as that user name is usually taken on every other site..
