Lets Add a User Name For your Facebook Profile and Fan Page

Earlier, if we want to view some one’s profile in Facebook, we need to search for his profile, because we can’t memories the long URL that they had for profiles! But, Facebook started to give Facebook user-names, so that people can go to their profiles by entering www.facebook.com/user-name!

Facebook rolled out this new feature last year… But still people seems to be un-aware of this cool feature. Still I can see many long, un-user friendly, ugly URLS in Facebook! So, I thought of writing about it again with some added content! Last time I didn’t talked about adding user-names for your fan page! But today, you’ll learn it!

How to add user-names to our Profile?

• Go to : http://www.facebook.com/username/
• Now, in the box provided enter the user-name you want and click on “Check availability” to check whether the user name is taken by another person!

How to add user-names to our Fan Page?

• Next, select your fan page, give a user name and click on “Check availability”

Fan Page User Name

Note :

You can’t change the username of Earth Blog once you set it.
You can’t transfer the ownership of a username to another party.
You can’t violate anyone elses trademark rights.
If you are acquiring a username to sell it in the future (squatting), you will lose it.

So, what do you think? Did you got a good user name or not?
