If you haven’t grabbed your custom Facebook URL…GO FOR IT!
The world is abuzz now that Facebook has come around and made custom profile page URL’s availabe. I’m at http://FaceBook.com/demitchell. If you haven’t grabbed yours yet, here are the details about the eligibility period, etc.
Eligibility is limited to anyone who joined Facebook before usernames were publicly announced at 3 p.m. (EDT) on June 9, 2009. These users will have the chance to claim usernames at 12:01 a.m. (EDT) on Saturday, June 13, 2009.
If you have a page and you’d like a custom URL, here are the particulars. Be prepared… you MUST be popular for now!
Your Facebook Page must meet two requirements: it must have been live on Facebook prior to the May 31, 2009 cut-off date and have had a minimum 1,000 fans at that time.
This limitation is temporary. All Pages created after May 31, 2009 or that had less than 1,000 fans on that day will be eligible to claim usernames on Sunday, June 28, 2009.
This is not the end of the world if you miss out. We’ve lived this long and most of us use some kind of linked icon to share with our readers/followers anyway…but it sure is nice for ME to remember now.
Visit http://Facebook.com/username once you’ve logged in and you’ll be prompted from there. Enjoy.
