    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 got my last name. Could have had first and last but I wanted to keep it as short as possible.

    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.
