Sorry John,
but I think you are out of luck with this one.

See: http://www.facebook.com/help.php?page=900

"... May 31, 2009 cut-off date and have had a minimum 1,000 fans at that time."

At that time.

I like your fb.example.com strategy. Have adopted it for myself.

Already a fan by the way.

Yours
John

Hi John,

I use Scribefire which allows me to update and edit my blog directly from my Firefox browser. LOVE IT!

Thanks for your recommendations!

Happy weekend.

I see you've just topped over to 1044 Fans! Congratulations John, I've always enjoyed reading your blog articles , keep it up!

Thanks for the info!

I got my name as the username.

You don't need 1,000 Fans to get your own username.

Your Facebook account must be registered before June 9 as the only criteria.

I joined but later I noticed the 1,000 person limit by the end of May. Sorry...

Its nice that FB is allowing people and businesses to have a branded display URL. My friend @brian_hancock found an interesting thing about the possibility of duplicate content issues with FB urls. http://www.brian-hancock.com/facebook/facebook-...

Too many restrictions. Hopefully it all works out in the end for those of us looking for usernames. Thanks for the update.
