I was one of the lame ones who waited for the countdown. Someone got my first name when I checked availability. Got my first + last though!
Truth is, I couldn't care much less about this...but I went ahead and registered first + last just for the hell of it. It's funny though, how these social networking sites are always one-upping and copycatting each other. Status updates, top friends, custom URL's, etc.
I don't get it. What's the username? What i use to sign in? My facebook already says my full name on it.
I got my first and last. I've already got me@, my first and last @mac.com and @me.com, and my twitter is twitter.com/my first and last.
The username is basically just a link that makes it "easier" for others to access your page, i.e. they can just type in "facebook.com/uprising" in their address bar.
Cool I got my first and middle name...julioxadrian I could have done it without the x...but it matches the rest of my accounts.
