More Than 50 Million Claimed Facebook Usernames

Social Networking, Web — August 13, 2009 at 21:46

A recent post on Mashable stated that:

“Do you remember two months ago when Facebook usernames went live? Millions of avid Facebook (facebook) users waited on a Friday night for the chance to claim their own custom URL. 200,000 were claimed in 3 minutes, 500,000 in 15 minutes, a million within an hour, and 3 million usernames by the next morning.

Still, that’s just a tiny portion of the nearly 300 million users of the world’s larger social network. However, it looks as if adoption of usernames hasn’t stopped. According to a recent note from Facebook engineering, it was revealed that the company has reached over 50 million users.”

I already got mine:
