I would be one of those people “not happy” about this. I’m not that invested in Facebook, so I could care less if they fall down a dirty ditch BUT I do agree with the sentiment that they’re moving more away from their original strategy of “gated community” to a more open concept. The problem is, the open concept has been done, over and over, so I don’t know why they’re so willingly moving away from their key success factors (sorry I am a business student and we did a case on this… so excuse my lingo).
Although I do like your suggestion of giving users subdomains.

Haha. It's good to know I'm not the only person crazy enough to do that. I mean, it's not like my name is all that common, but you never know. It could have ended up like this or this.

No way FB becomes MS. Facebook avoided that on day one when they built a system that has an order to it. Granted, growth allows it to incorporate featured that create idiocy and spam, but as someone who ignores ALL requests for apps and games and bullshit, the FB world for me is generally uncluttered. I use it to track down people I’ve had real relationships with. It’s an address book with interaction.

Sure, FB wants to be more than that, but they’re letting themselves be that for me, and for that I’m thankful.

And I had alarms set to grab my URL:)

All of your ideas are excellent, but that puts a downer on my future plans – I just got the barcode tattooed on my neck. The numbers under it would've been my Facebook ID and my Trainer ID in Pokemon Gold. v___v

Nate: Thanks. Nick: If I were working for Facebook, it would already have OpenID support.Dan: Yeah, they usually do import nicely. The only downside is that the comments don't turn back up on my site.

Facebook imported this quite well.

You should work for Facebook lol. This makes more sense indeed.I'm still undecided on a name change though. I'm not too worried though, because how many "NBaumbich" are there out there?

I like your way of breaking this down and how it SHOULD work.
