So is Facebook doing the "verified names" like Twitter? - Jorge Escobar

I should have gotten "sidneycrosby" or "kobebryant" just to get a zillion hits over the next few days. - Kevin Mohr

I agree, kathy. I went right for dthree, not my real name - dthree

StephenPickering wasn't hard but there is a guy in Australia who's going to be pissed at me - Stephen Pickering

Matthew: I registered "Scoble" for my son at 9 p.m. So that's the answer. I already had RobertScoble saved by PR. But I probably would rather have "Scoble." - Robert Scoble

This says it all: http://www.facebook.com/help... - Melanie Reed

Robert: By registering "for my son" do you mean you logged in as him and picked that name? - Ken Sheppardson

Pantalaimon - Kathy Fitch

Hmm... I get the screen "The page you requested was not found." - Jorge Escobar

Robert: Damn i only have guessing urls to go off after securing my name. - Project Glow Guy

could it be that the small caps twitter and not the big caps Twitter is available? - polou/indigo_bow

toptwitterer is still available. So is topgeek. Jorge, remember that I'm using the tool where you can register them. That's the only way to really check. - Robert Scoble

@Scoble +1 - Jorge Escobar

polou: it doesn't matter. Both versions are not available. - Robert Scoble

http://www.facebook.com/fender is available: for you devious luthiers - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Beware, just because it says "Page not found", doesn't mean it is available. There is a big restricted list somewhere, and I found one (a city name). - Paul Holmes

Paul: funny, "restricted" is still available. - Robert Scoble

Scoble, what 's the record for # of comments on friend feed - are you going for the record? BTW - I love friend feed. - Robert Freeze

halfmoonbay looks like it might be available - Gary Etie

facebook.com/fail appears to be available, as well. - Paul Holmes

same with facebook.com/sucks - Paul Holmes

seoking - Raanan Avidor

Robert Freeze, I don't think record threads are created, I think they happen. Lots of people try to get one going, whereas Scoble just has the dynamics going at this point in time, and I think he'd agree. - Gary Etie

Did you notice that somebody got http://www.facebook.com/friendf... - and it's not this website! - Paul Holmes

Drat. Someone took awesomer - Joi Ito

hmm, probably friendfeed could file 4 infringement @paulholmes 2 facebook if its not legimate - polou/indigo_bow

Paul - that's interesting - why would they? - Robert Freeze

Robert, because they can )register it, that is, not keep it, when friendfeed comes a callin' - Gary Etie

polou: friendfeed is a trademark, so they will lose that user name if friendfeed cares. - Robert Scoble

It could be they legitimately hadn't heard of this, and figured it sounded good. - Paul Holmes

I'm sure somebody at FriendFeed will fill out the form at http://www.facebook.com/copyrig... and /friendfeed will point to the FF<->FB app within a week. - Ken Sheppardson

robert, but friendfeed can still file to facebook as an infringement of a trademark. - polou/indigo_bow

This is funny - http://www.facebook.com/mysapce - oops, you got a typo buddy. - Paul Holmes

I got my name! Go ME! I don't care if anybody likes facebook or not but I really think it's important to have your own name so no one else uses it. - Sheryl

Another trademark infringement - http://www.facebook.com/iGoogle - Paul Holmes

Sheryl: Especially when its common :-P Take that 500+ other me's on facebook. - Project Glow Guy

Facebook will be busy looking with trademarks infringements this coming few weeks! - polou/indigo_bow

@polou - I know, it's still kind of funny - Paul Holmes

I tried 2 put a submission 2 my biz name, but the biz number reg was not defined clearly. We have IDs with names and since laws are different in Canada and elsewhere then US. - polou/indigo_bow

Ben: Agreed. Mine isn't as common but I tried for my first name and it was gone. Good thing I use my full name everywhere. Continuity. :) - Sheryl

How hard could it have been to prevent creation of trademarked names, without verification from the trademark holder? Easier than it's going to be to straighten out the mess. It's got to be part of the planned hype, with built-in controversy, and ongoing coverage. - Gary Etie

trademarked is still available. - Robert Scoble

I'm Zuckerberg, and I'm thinking, how do I force a relationship between celebrities and businesses and FB? Let the world register their trademarked names! Yea, that's the ticket! - Gary Etie

facebook.com/scobeleizer and facebook.com/scobelizer are still available - Paul Holmes

I like this one: http://www.facebook.com/GrumpyO... - Bryan Person

@BryanPerson - did you read this somewhere, or did you just discover it? - Paul Holmes

Polou: Joke maybe, only tech savvy people would understand. - Project Glow Guy

So, it has been established, both "."s and "-"s (dots and dashes?) are ignored at Facebook. At Gmail, ".", dots are ignored, "-", dashes are not. At both FB and Gmail, g.a.r.y.e.t.i.e = garyetie = gary.etie. but ≠ g-a-r-y-e-t-i-e, or gary-etie, for Gmail. - Gary Etie

I just decided to continue in my 12 year old mistake and take iphigenie again. - Iphigenie

It would be getting harder to register firstname.lastname by now (Unless you have a more unique name). After the main one is taken you get reverse name taken lastname.firstname then they start spilling out to using initials which multiplies the amount of people that could also use it. All variations seem to be taken for my name now. - Project Glow Guy

pornstar! oh, taken. - Jeremy Toeman

@Jeremy - no, all *porn* names are restricted - already tried a bunch. - Paul Holmes
