Facebook freak. Resistance is futile.

Join me on facebook at 

www.facebook.com / Florida Photographer

So while others may have spent their Friday night watching some sports game or at a party with friends, Anna and I sat in front of our monitors watching the clock tick down to zero hour as Facebook unlocked the ability to create a username for our profiles. Some people see this as a no big deal, but to us this is a huge business move.

Up until yesterday, anybody that created a facebook account had the identity of some long set of numbers resembling a facebook social security number. But now people will be able to create a username that helps create a searchable identity. This allows for people to not only say, "Look me up on facebook (where there is 500 results)" but rather got to facebook.com/johnsmith.  Now think about how google is going to be influenced by this?

I don't know the ins and outs of all this stuff, but I think I did just fine by creating a username "FloridaPhotographer" While Anna got "MiamiPhotographer." We will see if the few hours we spent in front of facebook instead of out in town paid off. Only time will tell. 

So what is your username?
