Starting this Saturday June 13, 2009 at 12:01 am you can claim your own personalized Facebook user name.
Previously you were only able to use a lengthy and difficult to remember URL such as http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=531173044 instead of an easier to remember URL such as http://www.facebook.com/myname.
These addresses will be issued on a first come and first served basis. Once you claim your new Facebook address you cannot change it or assign it to anyone else.
