As of Saturday, June 13, Facebook allows you to create your unique profile name so that you can provide a link to potential followers using your name instead of a ID number. I quickly grabbed mine, which gave me flexibility as to how I wanted my profile name to look.

For those of you who have a common first name and last name, and if you haven’t already, be sure to create your user name right away because it may already be taken.

You can click here to set up your new profile name:
