Get Your Name As Your URL On Facebook Tonight

Submitted by support on June 12, 2009 - 8:23pm.

This is some huge news... as of midnight EST time tonight, you will be able to get your name as your URL on Facebook (www.facebook.com/yourname) if you are an existing user.

According to Facebook's Help Center...

Eligibility is limited to anyone who joined Facebook before usernames were publicly announced at 3 p.m. (EDT) on June 9, 2009. These users will have the chance to claim usernames at 12:01 a.m. (EDT) on Saturday, June 13, 2009.
This limitation is temporary. All users who joined Facebook after the cut-off will be eligible to claim usernames on Sunday, June 28, 2009.

There is expected to be a huge "landgrab" on Facebook tonight, so get ready to jump in!

Thanks go out to Don Crowther of Stompernet for the heads up.
