Facebook is finally allowing people to personalize the address of their Facebook profiles with Facebook usernames. Facebook usernames will make it a lot easier for someone to find you on Facebook. Instead of being just another number, your Facebook username will create unique identifiers for you that your friends can type into their browser's address bar.

Facebook has always wanted people to use their real names, that way their friends can find them and connect with them easier. Yet, in your profile's address, there was just a number that your friends would have to type to get to your profile. Facebook usernames will make remembering where your Facebook profile is easier.
Example of Facebook Usernames
