"Soon you will be able to have a username"
Popular productivity murderer facebook is letting you have a username (from June 13th). My guess is that you'll be able to search for people using it.

Question is, who will use their b3ta username? Who doesn't care about their privacy in the slightest?

Me personally, I've been careful not to mix
b3ta and facebook. I'm a bit paranoid about sharing too much (as my sister put it after we had an argument over her telling our dad my old username, "What's your problem? Who do you think you are, Howard f***in' Hughes?")

I've got a few crossovers between b3ta and Facebook
but generally they're people I've met in the flesh.

I won't be taking them up on their username business - I don't want too much crossover.

That's because I wanted to see if you were hot and then felt too guilty to delete you

I can't use the same excuse
seeing as I knew what you looked like from your CONSTANT POSTING OF SEMI CLOTHED PICTURES OF YOURSELF ONLINE.

Once is constant? Or was it merely that you couldn't help going back to have another look?

The only one I've ever used that has generated a decent response was Kiss or Kill.
I just can't seem to think of a user name.
Kristine is my real name and I have a few b3tans as friends on facebook but they don't know anything personal, really, and I talk to them there about as much as I do here.

I won't be taking them up on the username
Because it's the most pointless fucking idea they've had in a long time.

"Hmm, I need to look for someone I went to school with, what's their username?"

Real name, always a better idea.

I maintain a careful separation of the two
I have a few friends from here on there, but on the whole I won't be having a username.

Complete seperation.
Although nothing I've ever said on here is anything that's not pretty much common knowledge about me.

Me too...
...but then I don't bother with FaceBook, so it's a bit of a moot point for me.

Never seen the point of facebook
And the only time people talk about it is to complain about something, so I don't think I'm missing anything.

Bit of concensus
I'll still struggle not to take my old username though as I've been using it for about TEN whole years now.

Well, I'm not on facebook
But I use the same username almost everywhere.
