Do You Have Your Facebook Vanity URL Yet?

Valparaiso Indiana ValpoLife FacebookFacebook has announced that starting Saturday, June 13, the social networking platform will begin allowing user names for profiles tomake finding friends, family, and contacts on the network easier.

Currently, your profile’s URL goes something like www.facebook.com/
profile.php?id=16489464
. Starting Friday, your profile will look more like www.facebook.com/
John.Jacob.Jinglemeyersmith
. The URL extensions will be handed out on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Facebook explains this on their blog:

”Your new Facebook URL is like your personal destination, or home, on the Web. People can enter a Facebook username as a search term on Facebook or a popular search engine like Google, for example, which will make it much easier for people to find friends with common names. Your username will have the same privacy setting as your profile name in Search, and you can always edit your search privacy settings here.”
