FaceBook and Myspace Exchange

I think I've posted here already...

Does that link actually work for you? This and most other facebook links posted the last days get me an error message from facebook telling me "Page not found". Only few work for me.

That link worked for me, but that may be because I'm already a friend of her's.

Gah. If that's the reason, then facebook sucks. Cause it does give me possible explanations (obsolete or wrong link) but not the one of not being a friend.

Btw: You're all doing this all wrong. This should become one of the icons in the info box left of your posts, just like AIM, MSN, youtube, etc.

I'm pretty sure that isn't the reason. I clicked on that link and it worked fine, and she is not on my friends list. I wonder if it has something to do with you being in Germany, or perhaps it is loading a cached page with the error. Have you tried in multiple browsers? Do you have a Facebook account that you can login to and view American profiles? Maybe you need to be logged in to view that particular profile.

I will work on making a Facebook icon on the left eventually when I knock off some other stuff off my list.

Didn't work in other browsers, either. But when I logged in, it worked. Logged out again, I get the same false error again. Alright, facebook officially sucks.

If you don't think that I would recognize your name, just say that you're from speedsolving

Hmm... where can I see my own username/link? I log in with my email address...

Just go to your profile using the button at the top

That just results in this ugly thing:

vanity urls don't work yet for people who joined after a certain date

At this time only users who have registered for Facebook before June 9th, 2009 are eligible to obtain a username. All other users will be allowed to register a username in the near future. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Alright, after some googling I found out they just created this and I still had to create a username and how. So now I have this (almost too obvious to mention):
http://www.facebook.com/stefan.pochmann

Thanks ****, that's the URL I found, too. I've had my account for a while already, so that was not the problem. Problem was that nowhere on my facebook pages I could find this username thing even mentioned. Had to find that URL in someone's blog.

Restricting viewing of profiles due to being logged in is quite stupid, I'd agree. They do it so it forces you to register to view a friends profile. It works out quite well for Facebook. But if you have a profile anyway, it shouldn't really affect you because you can easily login.

I found it in the help pages.
glad there is one

I don't mind *that* they restrict it, I mind *how* they do it.

if you have a profile anyway, it shouldn't really affect you because you can easily login.

But I don't get a message like "You need to login to see this profile". I get "This does not exist". That doesn't make me login to see the profile, that makes me stop and do something else. And maybe I'll think the person who gave me the link is a dork.
