Facebook Allows Custom URLs

by Colin McNulty on 22 June 2009

Ok, this is probably old news, but FaceBook now allows you to set your own url, e.g. my facebook profile used to be here:

http://www.facebook.com/people/Colin-McNulty/1421747440

Now it is here:

http://www.facebook.com/colinmcnulty

This is very nice, I like. Why they didn’t do such an obvious feature before is a bit of a mystery really. However, getting a custom Facebook url (or vanity url as it’s sometimes called) is now easy, you just go here: http://www.facebook.com/username/

WATCH IT THOUGH: it’s a one time deal. You can’t change your mind and you can’t undo it, so make sure you’re happy with what you chose, and make sure you don’t mistype it!!
