Today Facebook is staging one of the biggest virtual land grabs ever – the rush to claim your own name on Facebook.com. Right now if you want to send someone to your profile, you have to figure out a URL that looks something like this:  www.facebook.com/people/Your-Name/585946540. But wouldn’t you rather own www.facebook.com/yourname?

Starting today at 2pm AEST you can claim your name as a facebook URL. Login to Facebook then go to http://www.facebook.com/username. If someone else has already has your name, get creative – add a period, or a dash, shorten it, lengthen it, or slap a number in there somewhere.
