Have You Changed Your Facebook URL Yet?

How many of you know that your Facebook profile can have a custom personal URL? Yes, it is possible. Just like in Twitter, your Facebook profile can have your own personal URL into which you can easily direct your friends.
Usually, the link to your profile is long and confusingly full of symbols and weird text. This is very hard to remember. To avoid this, you can change the URL to your Facebook profile into www.facebook.com/whateveryouwant!
This is a great feature and there is a simple way to activate it. First, go to this page.
The page will display few suggestions for your username which will make the part of the URL. You can either choose from them or give your own username yourself. To do this, click More.
Some more suggestions will appear. The last option will have a textbox, which lets you type in the username of your own. Enter the desired username in it and click check availability.
A confirmation message will appear. This is very important. This message tells you that you can change your username only once and asks you to confirm it. So, please make sure your username is good enough and that you like it before clicking confirm.
The above mentioned message will appear to let you know that you have successfully modified your username, thereby creating yourself your own personalized URL. You can now use this URL to let people visit your profile. This is very useful if you want to let people who are not in your friends list yet, find you as it can be sent through your email, as a signature.
Think of a cool and unique username so that people know its as soon as they see it. What is your Facebook user name? Do you think people like it?
