Earlier this week Facebook announced that vanity URLs were finally being released to owners of both, Facebook Profiles & Facebook Pages. With less than 10 hours until their release I thought that now was an opportune time to inform anybody that was still unaware or had started to forget.
What is a Vanity URL?
Simply put it’s a web address that describes the content of a link more than a generic code.
http://www.facebook.com/username – Vanity URL
http://www.facebook.com/516036873 – Standard URL
The launch has been highly anticipated and as such it’s expected that the most common and desired names will be gone in the first few minutes. It’s likely that thousands of social media addicts and business people across the globe will be anxiously awaiting the launch to stake there claim so it’s important that you are ready and waiting if you want to guarantee your selection.
In order to stop people from collecting names, you will have to be a member of Facebook already if you want to claim your URL in the morning. Similarly if your Fan Page has less than 1000 fans you will most likely need to wait a little while before being able to register a vanity URL.
So What Next?
If you’ve met the criteria described above, all you have to do is head over to the launch page at 5:01 AM (GMT) and claim your exclusive vanity URL.
