Facebook decides to give us a second chance

If you hastily chose a wacky alias you regret in the recent Facebook username free-for-all, or – like me – went for a ridiculously unimaginative one to "play it safe", the network has decided to give us all a second chance to work out our identity.

But a word of caution - Facebook calls this a "one last chance" of sorts, so this time be totally sure before you dive in and create a new identity!

I am getting back to together with my Facebook. I kind of missed all the hoop about choosing an alias. How do get an alias? thanks, shane

Hi Shane - best way is to go to settings in the navigation bar at the top, then account settings, then it should be the second option down (under "your name").
