    I hope facebook makes user profile urls cleaner. I wish it was like twitter so I could tell someone I meet, "Yeah just go to facebook.com/user/jasonstallings" or whatever.

    OctalMage, that's a great idea, and as I mentioned, it's a simple thing to do. I would also like to have the option to make more information on my profile public.

    How do you change the url to be more friendly?


    I went through my account settings and didn't see anything there.


    Thanks,
    Tom

    Thanks for the heads up - I Googled myself and, sure enough, my FB Profile URL now includes my name: www.facebook.com/p/Mari_Smith/566610867. I couldn't find my FB Page though (it's not that active yet).


    BTW, check out the "Profile To" FB app; this creates a Profile URL of http://profile.to/marismith. I started using that in email siggy files, biz cards, etc.


    However a friend says the link first goes to the Profile To app and asks the person to install... though there is an "ignore/no thanks" button. My friend said it was confusing so I reverted to the longer URL. Here's the direct link for the Profile To app to check it out for yourself: http://apps.facebook.com/profiles/</p>

    Thomas,


    Facebook only makes the Facebook "Pages" friendly. Your profile is not affected by this change. For a Facebook "Page" it is done automatically by Facebook - just go to the Page and it shows up with the new URL format.
