FaceBook Vanity URLs -- Are you Getting Yours?

FaceBook Vanity URLs — Are you Getting Yours?

Wed, Jun 10, 2009

I was going to write up about this, but Mari’s post here is great:

Here are a couple of reasons to want a vanity URL:

1. It makes it easier for people to find you and if you have a common name like “John Smith” you will want to jump on it early.

2. It’s easier to add to a business card — many of us have been adding our Twitter ids, now we can add our facebook profiles as well.

3. Fan Pages will be powerful for businesses, especially businesses that use their keywords in their name. — You have to have an existing fan page to be able to access this right now.

What are your thoughts?

That's so funny that you mentioned Mari's post.
I started out my show last week talking about this
very thing because I had just read that post.

I'll tell you, I was very disappointed because I wasn't
able to get my name. Then I realized that it was just
a name, no big deal.

The truth is this will be great for building brands. I was
able to get a good URL for my fan page, so I was pretty
happy about that.
