They already did a few things to stop people from creating a bunch of non-person accounts, like asking for cellphone numbers that they text your password to. That still allows to people to have as many accounts as they have cellphones... but still : ) | ||

Facebook is taking from myspace what works without being obnoxious. Yes the users bitch and whine whenever something is changed and they want a ton of options, but honestly it's better this way. You can still network socially without the all the annoying shit myspace lets their users do. | ||

Mike Pence took the username "Obie Fernandez" as he clearly states that this is his latin dancing name. Someone called Obie Fernandez did not find that funny because he wanted to register his real name as username and consequently complained about this. What he should have done is register MikePence. :D | ||
