Hi, what are you looking for?
Reddit user? Here’s a Tweetdeck-esque browser app for you
Meta Oversight Board calls for less ambiguous nudity guidelines
Loophole allowed anyone to bypass Facebook 2FA, Meta confirms
TikTok to add ‘Talent Manager’ so reps can oversee clients’ brand deals
Instagram Shop tab is going away – how to sell now
You probably should register it now as the rush continues.
The process was actually painless as the page counted down to 12:01 est.. Suggested names appear with a field to enter your own version, and then checks to make sure it’s available. It’s being reported that 200,000 vanity names were registered within the first three minutes, so you had probably hop to it, and let us know what you got!
(Social Media) Reddit's UI hasn't always been super intuitive. 'Deck for Reddit' organizes your feed into themed columns, making it way more user-friendly.
Everyone knows Meta is always keen to jump on any social trend, but a decentralized social media experience is definitely out of left field.
Large auto insurers are reconsidering covering some models after TikTok videos demonstrating theft go viral, a double whammy for owners.
Meta Oversight Board has answered the call to review nudity policies across Meta properties, especially when it comes to breasts - why?

Lani Rosales
June 12, 2009 at 11:45 pm
heck yeah! facebook.com/LaniAR because (a) my name is only four characters (too short for FB registration requirements) and (b) to stay consistent with my twitter username.

Woo Hoo – Got mine! facebook.com/KimHughes – was a little concerned it would be taken before I got to it – pretty common name. But, I was ready and got it!

Yes! I can be found at facebook.com/VirtuAllin – Hurry, grab yours quickly as some Twitterati and more well known names are getting snatched up quickly.
Roberta Murphy

14 minutes might have made a difference–but was at dinner with clients.
Did not get my simple name, so settled on Facebook.com/TheRobertaMurphy
Was hoping to keep everything consistent across social networking platforms. But 200+ million users makes that tough!
Congrats on the HoustonRealEstate win–and to Mizzle and Lani, whose names I would recognize anywhere.

Kristin Farwell

Yup! Facebook.com/kfarwell (to be consistent w/ my other social networks – Twitter, Flickr, LinkedIn, del.icio.us, etc.).
Justin Razmus
June 12, 2009 at 11:59 pm
I registered facebok.com/razmus.
I read on the facebook terms that they would not let you use a “generic” name like “real estate”, but have already seen many of these types of names registered. I wish I would have tried out a few of my preferred nicknames first!

The thing about having a popular first and last name is its hard to the usernames I want. My first choice would have been my first and last name but I’m happy with the one I ended up with.

Joseph Kitchens

I scored the name “Joseph”.
I set my alarm on my cell phone to remind me registration was near. I was watching the clock count down. When it reached 30 seconds until registration time, I hit the refresh button because sometimes pages will change before the automatic refresh. So about 25 seconds before the clock finished counting for everyone, I was already at the registration page. It gave me four options and ‘Joseph’ was the fourth. I clicked it and it gave me a confirmation… and all this happened before the actual countdown ended. I guess I got lucky.

Jason, it’s a good question, and I can’t wait to see the Google/Facebook handling of that organic result.

I could have gotten my whole name, but it is way too long so I went with facebook.com/michelle.de

If your going to do it, go big time: NHrealestate, New Hampshire was already taken.
From a consumer stand point so your found via SEO algorithms, your name won’t work, its the product your selling or marketing.
Think outside the box, think like any other web surfer. What would I put in google search?
Just my 2 cents.
