For Facebook URL, the count down is over and people are rushing to secured their username that easy to remember for friends & family instead of some random number like "id=592952074."
so how you gonna take your user name & which username you should take?
Well to help you out this post will give you some tips for choosing the Facebook user name.
Now to take a username first of all you need to login to your Facebook profile. after the log in go to http://www.facebook.com/username
now you already logged to Faebook so it will provide some predefine username lake your firstname your last name and firstname.lastname where you can choose the username according to your needs. or you can set your own username if it's available
Now point to be noted before taking a username.
- Facebook usernames will be available in basic text forms
- You can only choose a single username for your profile and for each of the Pages that you administer.
- Only one username is allowed per Page.
- Your username must be at least five characters in length
- Only include alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9), or a period or full stop (".")
- Once you have claimed a username by clicking the “Set Username” button, it is not possible to edit it
- It is not possible to transfer your username to a different account on Facebook.
- When an account is removed from the site, its username will not be made available to other users for security reasons.
Now what if your name is short then five character?
well you can user your first and last name with a dot format (firstname.lastname). If this format is not available try for reverse format (lastname.firstname) or you can use your firstname and lastname initial.
Here one thing to remember that Facebook provide a universal username format so for Eg: if you your name is Mark Jons, and if you are taking MarkJ for your Facebook username then if anybody try to go for
http://www.facebook.com/markj
http://www.facebook.com/m.arkj
http://www.facebook.com/ma.rkj
http://www.facebook.com/mar.kj
http://www.facebook.com/mark.j
http://www.facebook.com/m.a.r.k.j
It will land to the same page. so this is something you need to know before you go for your username. here dot(.) is useless unless you try to take firstname.lastname as a username which look decent.
Now if some also confused that if everything if available as a username then what should they take? Means, should go for first name or should go for last name or should go for firstname .lastname.?
According to me if all username available to you and you have a choice then should choose your firstname as a Facebook username, if its available.
why?
well I mark one thing, My Facebook profile is http://www.facebook.com/aniruddh. Now before the dedicated url, my profile want appeared in top ten list of Facebook search. if anyone try to search for "Aniruddh" but of course by searching firstname and lastname in Facebook search box you can get the accurate profile listing. so by taking a firstname you can hit the top list for your name search.
If you wanna add me As a Friend ,Of course you can but in Message just write WeboLobby Reader.
So keep all the things in mind and grab your identity that will be on Internet for a lifetime.
