A Username for your Facebook profile

WIZULTS has added a Facebook URL!

Having a Facebook URL is like a personal destination, or home, on the web. People can enter a Facebook username as a search term on Facebook or a popular search engine and find you or your page much faster. It’s an efficient route to take if you want a way to publicize a Facebook page. Usernames allow public entities to easily promote your presence on Facebook with a short URL. This username can be used in your marketing communications, company website and business cards.

The addition of a Facebook username will make it much easier for people to find friends, coworkers or businesses with common names. Usernames are now available for Facebook profiles as well as pages.

However, URL’s are offered on a first come first serve basis. With nearly 345,000 people creating a URL just minutes after the application was accessible, don’t miss your opportunity to create your very own username.

It’ simple, there are only a few guidelines. All Pages created after May 31, 2009 or that had less than 1,000 fans on that day are eligible to claim usernames if they have more than 25 fans. Just type in, www.facebook.com/username to start.

Remember that usernames were created to make it easier for Facebook users to identify their profile and share with others. As a public figure, business or brand with a Page on Facebook, your username should be straightforward. Like WIZULTS for example J
