Facebook Username Mission: Successful. You can now find me @ http://www.facebook.com/derekmcclain
Twitter users were tweeting aplenty. Webcams were broadcasting live all over the world. But as for now, the Facebook username buildup excitement is over. The initial rush has passed. Many people predicted that Facebook would crash or some other type of complication would arise. They were wrong. It was a smooth, seemless process that took about 5 seconds once the countdown was complete.
Now let the interesting part begin…how will we use our new Facebook identity?

Thanks for the info!
I got my name as the username.
You don’t need 1,000 Fans to get your own username.
Your Facebook account must be registered before June 9 as the only criteria.

Really? It did not allow me to register our business page because we had less than 1,000 fans. Were you able to? And also the Facebook Insider said if a you had under 1,000 fans you would have to wait until June 28th – http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009/06/12/facebook-username-registration-opens-tonight/
