Facebook recently added a new username -- or vanity URL -- feature, allowing users to claim facebook.com/yourname. You can also do this with Pages -- but you have to have 1,000 fans. In the Help Center, Facebook hints that this might change in the future, but the question is when? I know of a couple of other different groups and projects who call themselves Letters of Love out there, and I don't want to lose our username!

I've never asked for everyone to friend us on MySpace, Facebook, or Twitter specifically because I like having a small group. I like being able to pick out names and faces and know who each and every person is on Letters of Love's friends lists. I don't think it's fair that we can't claim a username just because we don't have 1,000 fans.

Help us claim our username! Suggest Letters of Love on Facebook to your friends so that we can claim facebook.com/lettersoflove before someone else does. This is also a great opportunity to share what we do with a whole lot of new people!

You can also help by reposting this, tweeting it, and putting it in your Facebook/MySpace status.


Update: Facebook has changed the username settings; pages must now have 100 fans to claim a username -- which I like a lot better. Right now we have around forty friends on Facebook. Become our friend on Facebook and suggest us to your friends. Together we can make a difference.
