Starting yesturday, June 13th 2009, Facebook users have the option of choosing a username to have an unique Web address for their profile. Facebook argues that it will be easier for your friends to find you via web search engines like Google.

There is no doubt that Facebook is working hard to innovate and give the opportunity to their million of users to personalize even more their profiles. I wonder what new options will Facebook bring in the near future?

Facebook usernames will be available in basic text forms, and you can only choose a single username for your profile and for each of the Pages that you administer. Your username must be at least five characters in length and only include alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9), or a period or full stop (”.”). While usernames are currently available only for Romanized text, we’re looking at how we might support non-Romanized characters in the future.

Think carefully about the username you choose. Once it’s been selected, you won’t be able to change or transfer it. If you signed up for a Facebook Page after May 31 or a user profile after today at 3 p.m. EDT, you may not be able to sign up for a username immediately because of steps we’ve taken to prevent abuse or “squatting” on names.

You can get yours at www.facebook.com/username on a first-come, first-serve basis
