Facebook URL user names are now available

Post by retrofuturist »

Greetings,

Just thought it might be worth bringing to your attention that if you have a facebook account, you can go to... http://www.facebook.com/username" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and get yourself a customised URL. For example, mine is http://www.facebook.com/pauldavy" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Obviously, if you've got a pretty common name, or if you're after something particularly funky, you'll want to get in quick. Hence why I'm telling you. :tongue:

Metta,

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

I'm not on facebook or any of the other network sites. Dhamma Wheel, e-mail, and my other sites keep me too busy already on the internet. :juggling:

But my wife is on facebook. She practices Theravada and likes to listen to Ajahn Brahm on iPod. Her username:
