Wouldn’t it be nice if you could access a Facebook page much like Twitter in the form www.facebook.com/iamatechie rather than www.facebook.com/profile.php? id=e12352 ?. Well for all those who wished for such a vanity url from Facebook , your prayers have been answered. Come Saturday EDT time 12:01 AM the new feature would be put up by Facebook. All users will be guided to get their Vanity url on their home page.
Rules and guidelines regarding the selection of vanity urls:
1.Only alphanumeric characters are allowed.
2.Minimum of five characters and only one user name per profile/the page they administer.
3.Facebook reserves the right to remove the name allotted and will work to prevent users from taking up copyrighted names.
4. Brands will be give a chance to protect their pages from imposters.
So all those of you who want their profiles with its own customised urls wait for Friday night.
It sounds kool !!! hope other social networking sites will also follow soon!!
