SHOOT: If you're fuzzy about what is going on, it's simple. You can make a clearer Facebook URL for yourself that is easier to search. So Instead of being Facebook.com/people/NickvanderLeek/2407611 you can be Facebook.com.NickVDL or Facebook.com/whateveryou want.
Here's a funny one: Facebook.com/Hawood.Jablowme. Say it slowly.
So sort out yours go here:
http://www.facebook.com/username/
No obvious Star Trek, Star Wars or Harry Potter names have been snapped up. We’re hoping that someone picks up at least Voldemort, because the owner could never tell anybody what his page is named.
Mashable reports that 500,000 people got processed within 15 minutes of launch, which is impressive service, especially since there are virtually no reports of anything going wrong technically. I got what I was after — facebook.com/johncabell — but as I wrote in a previous post it was really just about housekeeping since I own my own domain and use subdomains, like facebook.johnabell.com, as my calling cards.
But how can you resist when it’s possible to be known on the largest social network as Haywood Jablome? (Say each syllable slowly). Alas, Facebook got wise to the scam and sent Haywood packing. Someone also thought it would be a good idea to go through life as facebook.com/free.porn, but it’s actually just a URL referral page which also didn’t make it through the weekend.
“hades” is taken, but */hell and */heaven are available. |
