Default Don't Forget to Claim Your Username Tonight!

There has already been a topic created about this, but I wanted to remind everyone because the opportunity begins tonight.

Starting tonight at midnight (12 AM EDT) you will be able to claim your username on Facebook.

For example if you choose your name, a user will be able to visit your profile page directly:

http://facebook.com/yourusername

So be sure to be on to claim your name or whatever else you want! I'm sure it will pay off in the long run.

-Christian

Wow... made it and snagged my name

I was out walking the dog after the Penguins won the Stanley Cup and I got back and checked my email messages. The Stomper Net guys told me about his happening and I went to the page to see the countdown at 36 seconds...

Made it just in time.... So now I own Mike Hill | Facebook

PERFECT... First my team wins the cup and then this... what a great day

Mike Hill

PS. There is another Mike Hill in this industry who is kind of a big deal (hint hint) when it comes to buying mass media... Sorry dude!

Looks like the admin here at WF will need to adjust their facebook settings. I changed my facebook settings here and it still uses

www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=norman.woo

which does not work. It just brings you to facebook's homepage. Now I don't remember my old facebook numeric ID.

I snagged Mike Filsaime name...no just kidding..too bad you can't snag any niche names (keywords), unless you had boat load of face book accounts you could switch over, it seems that you had to have a face book account prior to June 9 of this month to able to add a user name, I'm glad I got mine..

I'm happy I got my personal name, but my business name was snagged

Since I don't have more than 1000 followers on my fan page, (I just set it up about a week ago) I have to wait until 28 June to get a name. Totally bums me out.

Seriously, who would want to be queenbuzzy on facebook other than me????

Default Did You Get a Cool Facebook URL?

I've got a nasty cold and can't sleep - so I thought I'd go register my facebook URL since it's 3am anyway :P

I managed to score www.facebook.com/nichemarketing (to promote my book, of course!)

What about you? Did you grab a cool facebook URL?

I woke up (here in the U.K.) two and a half hours after 'opening time' convinced that my common as muck name would be a gonner. Amazingly it wasn't!

Hi Tim -- you can still use the capitalized name even if you signed up with small case letters. I used small letters but can go to Linda Van Fleet - Chattanooga, TN | Facebook as well.

Default Urgent: Grab Your Name URL on Facebook!

This is IMPORTANT and you need to know about it RIGHT AWAY.

Tonight Facebook is staging one of the biggest virtual land grabs ever - the rush to claim your own name on Facebook.com.

You've heard of Internet Marketers claiming that the surge of traffic crashed their servers?
Well tonight there will be a server rush that has rarely, if ever, been duplicated on the Net. And you NEED to be part of it.
Right now if you want to send someone to your profile, you have to figure out a URL that looks something like this:

www.facebook.com/people/Your-Name/585946540
(That's an inactive URL, BTW, so don't click it.)

But wouldn't you rather own www.facebook.com/yourname?
And this becomes even MORE important for Facebook Fan Pages (not your regular friend profiles, the pages you can set up to promote your business.) Can you imagine how devastating it would be to have someone else own your company name in Facebook?
In the past, it was easy to own your own name on Facebook, all you had to do was to spend a large amount with Facebook (think $50,000+ per month) or be a huge celebrity, and it was yours.

But starting tonight at midnight Eastern US time (that would be 9:00pm Pacific time) you can claim your name as a facebook URL. Plus, you can claim names for your business pages too.

But here's the catch - it's first come, first serve. Imagine a couple of hundred MILLION people all try to grab their name at the same time, and there will be some interesting server shenanigans occuring.

Here's what to do.

Login to Facebook then go to

Login | Facebook


You will see a form that will give you several suggested usernames, and

the ability to choose your own. Either choose one of the names suggested

or type in your own.

Repeat this process for any Facebook Fan Pages you administer, though

there are three catches: first, your page must have over 1000 fans prior

to May 31st 2009, you can't claim something generic like travel or

insurance, and you can't claim someone else's trademark.

In fact, if you have a registered trademark, I suggest you go to

Preventing the Registration of a Username | Facebook

right now to prevent others from grabbing your name.

If someone else has already has your name, get creative - add a period,

or a dash, shorten it, lengthen it, or slap a number in there somewhere.

And if no one can spell you name, you can still grab something good.

Hey Jeffery:

Are you by any chance a StomperNet faculty member? I ask because your original post is an exact copy of an email sent out by Don Crowther of StomperNet on Fri June 12 at 7 pm eastern time. This is the email I received --

That's the drill. I'll be there at midnight, and I suggest you be there too.

And bring a book, the page refresh times may be really sllllloooooowwww.
