Hey Jon,

Looks like /jonathan was taken by a member of the Facebook team too. What did you end up choosing?

It wouldn’t let me grab Jon because it was under 5 characters and I didn’t want Jonathan at the time ….. now I’m kinda wishing I grabbed Jonathan.

Hey Joseph,

Sounds like you got really lucky!

Unfortunatly for me, Facebook.com/Blake was taken way before the countdown even started by a member of the Facebook team.

Enjoy your new URL!

I scored the name “Joseph”.

I set my alarm on my cell phone to remind me registration was near. I was watching the clock count down. When it reached 30 seconds until registration time, I hit the refresh button because sometimes pages will change before the automatic refresh. So about 25 seconds before the clock finished counting for everyone, I was already at the registration page. It gave me four options and ‘Joseph’ was the fourth. I clicked it and it gave me a confirmation… and all this happened before the actual countdown ended. I guess I got lucky.
