On Friday, June 12th at 9:01PM PST, Facebook will open the floodgates and allow registered Facebook users to vie for coveted SEO real-estate: Facebook usernames. And Seattle is meeting up at an internet-traffic epicenter to ring in the occasion (1GB/s internet connection, 5 WiFi Access Points/APs). (Thanks goes out to Spectrum Networks for providing the superfast connection!).

Facebook usernames will look like this: facebook.com/yourusername, and they’ll be unimaginably important in the future when it comes to driving traffic to your profile, increasing accessibility to your profile, and building a personal brand.

Because thousands of people will attempt to grab their name at the same time, having the fastest and most direct internet connection will matter when it comes to connecting to Facebook’s servers during the deluge of traffic.

You’re invited to come early, grab a spot, get a nice cuppa joe (Uptown’s lattes and specifically their foam are legendary), chat with fellow Seattle geeks, and count down to Zero Hour with us! Bring friends and please re-blog and Re-Tweet this!

All attendees who can spot me (Cameron) at the event will receive a coupon for a free crepe from the fine folks at Mobatta!
