[singlepic id=2 w=320 h=240 float=left] What is vanity URL? A vanity URL is a domain name, created to point to something to which it is related and indicated in the name of the URL. In easy words, vanity URLs are unique name that creatively linked to something making them easier to remember than a more random link.

Unlike other major social network sites like Myspace & Twitter, Facebook is currently giving their users a random URL like “http://www.facebook.com/people/username/11234567890″ which is difficult to remember.  So, starting at 12:01 a.m. (EDT) on Saturday, June 13, 2009, you will be able to personalize your Facebook URL (web address) by selecting a unique username. It will appear in the location bar of your browser like “http://www.facebook.com/username” when you view your profile.

You can select a username that Facebook suggests or create your own. Select “Check availability” to check for available usernames. If the desired username is available, click “Confirm” in order to confirm your choice. Please take note that, after you confirm your username, you’ll not allow to change it.

So, I’ve selected my username to become  www.facebook.com/malikisaad. If you want to secure your unique  Facebook username, you must hurry to Facebook now and grab it before another person take it.
