Facebook Usernames

facebookOK.. This one covers the gamut! It’s definitely ‘in the news’ we’re talking about major impact on search marketing, optimization and I’m definitely getting up on my soapbox and shouting it from the highest geographical location I can find!

People! and I do mean EVERYONE! Facebook just opened up USERNAMES! “So What!” you say? Well put it this way: Facebook allowing everyone to get their own personalized URL is pretty close (not exactly but close) to ICANN saying we’re deleting all the .com domains and tomorrow you can all start again to register them from scratch!

Yep that chance to get YOUR NAME or your COMPANY NAME is now.. If you are a professional, self employed, personality, celebrity, VIP, business owner or politician you will want to have http://facebook.com/username so everyone can find you that much easier!

Be very careful in the name you choose as you cannot change it! I stayed simple http://www.facebook.com/ron.boyd for my personal FB profile page.

Here’s another kicker… I really hope you’ve set up your FB Page for your business! Cause it too gets it’s OWN Facebook URL! If you don’t get your web designer or social marketer to get one up there for the June 28th deadline!

Oh wait.. you’re here already! just Contact us and I can help you set up your facebook page, I can also help integrate your blog and twitter accounts for you too.. Make Social Marketing easy!
