I dont see the point in this at all? Isn't my unique email address unique enough?

This.

And you can search for someones REAL NAME via Google, so why a username? And how do you get the username from them in the first place?? :confused:

I'll be up at 9. Not 5am

Hopefully there's not anyone too keen with my name!

V4NT0M · 10 Jun 2009 at 14:51

I might do, would be nice to have my actual name there tbh.
, would make me feel special. So 5AM our time? Or will this be like other features where it rolls out over different regions/servers over a period of days?

i wonder though, firstname.lastname or firstnamelastname

Couldn't care less if I'm honest.

Another step towards away from the simplicity of what facebook was to the commerical heartless pit that is Myspace. :rolleyes:

V4NT0M · 10 Jun 2009 at 14:54

oh crap nvm

Doonhamer · 10 Jun 2009 at 14:59

I don't really get the point of this :confused:

Dark_Angel · 10 Jun 2009 at 15:00

I don't have a facebook or my space account, I don't want one... so I guess this doesn't affect me to much.

So why post? :confused:

I doubt i'll bother with one. Is it just so people can search for you easier? If so then they'll probably know my actual name compared to some random username that I might make.

Also, I don't care.

FrostedNipple · 10 Jun 2009 at 15:19

So what is it? My page is already my name :confused:

Nix · 10 Jun 2009 at 15:20

Just a word of advice really: don't go picking Mohammad. You know... things happen.

mjt · 10 Jun 2009 at 15:21
