So now I am known at least to some as www.facebook.com/downes - yes, I stayed up late Friday night after the hockey game and signed up for my own Facebook URL. Because someone else would have taken 'downes', probably within the first 30 seconds. This article is a really nice look at the Facebook offices the night of the launch. 200,000 new usernames were claimed within the first three minutes and three million in total were claimed over Friday night. Remarkable.
