For all those who haven’t heard it yet: since this (early!) morning 6.01 a.m. you can set up your own custom url for your facebook profile. No complicated urls with lots of numbers in anymore.
All you need to do is got to http://www.facebook.com/username and chose a username (wich is usually firstname.lastname) for your profile.
So mine is now: http://www.facebook.com/annette.schwindt
If you have linked your old url in your blog, website or wherever and set up a new name url, no need to panic: the link is redirected and still working.
It is also possible to register such name urls for facebook pages now. But for the moment it’s only possible for pages set up before May 31, 2009 and with over 1000 fans.
Have you secured your name url yet?
That’s awesome, definitely gonna look into that, thanks.
