Well the wait is over! The Facebook team has just flipped the switch and you can now register your username. Facebook has told us that 200,000 usernames have been registered in 3 minutes. So after you've visited Facebook and registered a username, we want to hear from you! Post your new Facebook URL in the comments and let us know if you got the name you wanted!
As we stated in our last post, we are live at Facebook's offices in Palo Alto to bring you all the details, good and bad, as they develop. We'll update you with any bugs, issues, or stories of success.
Update 1: 500,000 usernames in 15 minutes.
Update 2: 1,000,000 usernames in first hour.
