friending people should always have some kind of filter, that filter is friend codes, and it works for me

The concept is nice, the problem it's that those friend codes are too long. Having an username is so much better, I can just type "DieAppleDie" and add you, no need to type 12 digits.   

11 digits is so much better than 12.
