Don't Forget to Claim Your Username Tonight!

Christian Sawyer · 06-12-2009, 04:18 PM

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.

dvduval · 06-12-2009, 08:32 PM

I didn't know about this. This is something new that came about?

Danii Of Oz · 06-12-2009, 08:40 PM

How do we do this? Having trouble finding where to do it.

NixTheNews · 06-12-2009, 08:41 PM

Is there a blog with more info?

Done and done!

Justin Mandel · 06-12-2009, 11:06 PM

Snagged mine

Mike Hill · 06-12-2009, 11:06 PM

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!

Eric Stanley · 06-12-2009, 11:07 PM

Just claimed mine!

IMnwxlh2 · 06-12-2009, 11:11 PM

Do we need to change our profile here at WF for facebook as well to reflect the use of the username? Anyways, I changed mine.

Thanks for sharing.

On my way to get my name as username

IMnwxlh2 · 06-12-2009, 11:23 PM

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.

DennisM · 06-12-2009, 11:23 PM

WOW...I can't frickin believe it! My full name was actually available. My name is so common too. I noticed everyone is capitalizing their names so I did that too. Tim, sorry to hear you missed that one. The good news is we can still find you!

anth.elias · 06-12-2009, 11:29 PM

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..

Got mine. Now all I have to do is use it with a website. I thought it was pretty cool for them to do this.

Craig McPherson · 06-12-2009, 11:50 PM

I think I made a massive blunder.
I thought I would be a smart arse and call mine after a keyword phrase I am promoting but looking at it , it is irrelevant

DOH!!!

Paul M · 06-12-2009, 11:53 PM

I've never even bothered with Facebook before, just decided to sign up today
and grab my name. Turns out only members who have been there since June
9th or before can claim. lol.

Looks like am going to miss out on this one.

Jason Pereira · 06-13-2009, 12:26 AM

Thanks for the reminder, didn't know it was happening today.

Istvan Horvath · 06-13-2009, 12:32 AM

Thanks to Christian for reminding us - I got mine even though there are about 40something people on FB with the same name

queenbuzzy · 06-13-2009, 12:40 AM

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????

ecoverartist · 06-13-2009, 02:19 AM

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?

Clyde Dennis · 06-13-2009, 02:51 AM

I read about this a few days ago and forgotten all about it. Thanks for the reminder!

Russell Turner · 06-13-2009, 05:45 AM

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!

Chuck Evans · 06-13-2009, 06:28 AM

Also got mine - Chuck Evans | Facebook

Giggle · 06-13-2009, 06:47 AM

With over 500 results for the name Peter Lawrence on Facebook , I was able to secure

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.

Got mine. Thanks for letting us know.

Jeffery Milan · 06-13-2009, 09:46 AM

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.

Ted Demopoulos · 06-13-2009, 09:49 AM

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 --

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

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???? (answer: some random chick in Ontario)

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?
