The Countdown To The Facebook Username Land Rush Begins

It appears that today is the day of reckoning for Twitter and Facebook users. While Twitter is busy handling signed integer issues with their tweets, Facebook users are on standby while they wait to get their Facebook username. The form for selecting your Facebook username will open up at 12:01 AM EDT. You can view what time the form will open for your time zone by visiting the form. If you are on the east coast then don’t plan on staying out late tonight because you have to get your Facebook username, right?

Many journalists have been fortunate to have their usernames reserved (I happened to be one of the lucky ones) and while some are calling it unfair, it’s an important moment for many users are hoping for an easy to remember username.
