Did you get your Facebook Vanity URL?
Do you like numbers in your usernames or handles? Well, frankly I don’t. It’s the same feelings when it comes to profile URLs. I hate the long profile URLs for my orkut and facebook profile. Well, now at least facebook has given us a solution. Vanity URLs!
For those who do not know what vanity urls, here is a quick info. Vanity URL, is a domain name pointing to something to which the name relates. In case of Facebook Vanity URLs, we have http://www.facebook.com/jithinkr pointing to my facebook profile. So the old number based profile identification is replaced with easy to remember names!
And know what? FB vanity url’s are kind of blind to “periods” i.e. “.”.
Hence http://www.facebook.com/jithinkr and http://www.facebook.com/jithin.kr both point to my profile! Yay! But there is a problem. If you haven’t registered your vanity url’s yet, then be quick because a single vanity url can make so many other url’s unavailable!
Quick, get your facebook profile a vanity url! Click here to claim one! Do note that once selected, you can’t change the selection. So think before you select!
