Good job ruining his internet life. Oh, I'm sure he'll survive.

People quite literally are addicted to facebook almost like babies are to their mother's boob.

When they can't suckle, they cry. When someone else is getting fed, they get jealous.

If your name was Obie Fernandez, would you really want to publicize that? I'm just trying to figure out what kind of ethnic combination it is.

I snagged my city name, and I was surprised to see a lot of other common city names available about 20 minutes after the name grab started (i.e., Dallas, Capetown, Sandiego, etc).. not that it fucking means anything, except google might give a little bit o' index value to it when people search for shit in those cities :D

This seems rather poorly thought-out. I mean, think of this sequence of events:

TODAY

Mike: Hey Obie, I got your Facebook name! PWND!!!LOL!!ONE!

Obie: Fuck you.

FUTURE

Mike: Hey, check out my profile at facebook.com/obie.

Everyone else: WTF?

@Claire Buoyant: Yep. Then again, since facebook changes every few months, maybe he's hedging his bets that it won't really be permanent.

Interestingly, the "real" Obie Fernandez had changed his legal name to Obie Fernandez just so he could have the www.facebook.com/obiefernandez URL. It's the saddest Greek tragedy of all.

But it's UNFORGIVABLE, Foster. TOTALLY UNFORGIVABLE.

I wish I had thought to do this. I just used my own name, which is uncommon enough that it was still there Saturday afternoon.
