OK, so you have your own pictures, you disclose your personality, and you put everything that will imprint your personality on your own Facebook page; but why does it still feel like your personal branding isn’t complete? Probably because it isn’t! However, that’s about to change as Facebook started last Friday exactly at 9:01 pm offering personalized usernames and URLs for its users. This will replace the random numbers assigned to every registered Facebook user. Instead of “id=710618724, the address or URL will show the name you choose. Take note that not all will be given this privilege. It’s a first come, first serve basis.

In issuing these personalized URLs, Facebook is encouraging users to use their real names to preserve the trusted environment that has been created over the years of its existence. Also, by using your own name on your URL, you’ll make it easier for your friends to connect with you.
