You Looked.

Starting June 13, 00:00 AM (EDT), Facebook will start supporting usernames for its users. And how would that help us? We will now have pretty URLs to our profile pages. Instead of having a URL that would read “http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=123456789&ref=name” (which was so easy to give out to friends) we will now have URLs such as “http://facebook.com/username/”.

Thus you would now no longer have to worry about having a name so common that a 1000 results pop up when you’re searched for. Just tell your friends your username, and you’ll be found within seconds in the dense Facebook mesh of users.

The usernames will be provided on a first come first serve basis, which would mean it would be well worth waiting that extra longer on the night of the 12th if you’re in the US. If on the other hand, you see the sun a little earlier than America does, you would want to be on the watch sometime later in the day on the 13th.
