Yes, you will be able to register your username as of June 28th. If you click on the second question on this FB help page: http://www.facebook.com/help.php?page=900 it says: "All Pages created after May 31, 2009 or that had less than 1,000 fans on that day will be eligible to claim usernames on Sunday, June 28, 2009." Hope that helps. Hi Lorna.

A site that I administer is relatively new and has few fans at the moment, but I am hoping to get the username registered anyway. Do I have a chance? I can't tell from the Facebook info whether I do or not. Thanks, Lorna Hi Elizabeth,
