Facebook Personal URL’s

If you haven’t heard yet, which is virtually impossible because it’s all over the internet, starting on 13 June, at 05:01 (New York Time), you’ll be able to choose a username for your Facebook account.

So What Does This Mean For Me?

Basically it means you will be able to get a nice looking search engine friendly url like

www.facebook.com/leofogarty

or

www.facebook.com/nike

Wheres The Catch?

Well the catch is the following, to claim your personal url you had to be a member before they made this anouncement on June 9th. For any new accounts created after this date, you will have to wait until June 28th, this is to prevent url squatting.

Update – So what URL did you get?

Well I got all the ones I wanted specifically www.facebook.com/leofogarty

So what did you get? Leave your url in the comments section!!!!

    Sadly I found a lot had gone, my name Henry is not that common and had gone ages ago as had firstname.surname and also not a common surname.

    Sadly I think people will be snapping these up for resale – like people did when Yahoo opened up .co.uk

    Yeah Henry I agree, a lot of people will be holding onto these for resale value. Sorry you didn’t get the url you wanted

    I got the URL I wanted, I didn’t know about it because I don’t use facebook much but as soon as I logged in they asked me whether I want to create a personal URL for me on facebook so I was like, why not? And I found the url I wanted. And I can even see it on google search when I search my name.
