How to Create Effective Business Website Addresses on Facebook

I learned something new and useful today about Facebook, and thought I would share it with everyone.  David decided that it would be a good idea to get a more simple URL for the Word of Mobile page, so instead of having a bunch of numbers on the end (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Word-of-Mobile/199422686757) it would be simply www.facebook.com/WordofMobile or www.facebook.com/WOM.

The Benefits to Creating a Shorter URL Address for Your Facebook Business Page

Having a shorter URL makes it simpler to fit your page on business cards, and easier for people to remember how to get to your page.

How to Do It

I did a Google search and found the Facebook help page on usernames.  Setting a new username for your Facebook pages is fairly simple.  You can do it for both your profile page and any business pages that you have created.  Just go to facebook.com/username.  You need to have 25 fans to set a new username.  You can set the name to basically anything you want so long as it hasn't been taken yet.

The Risks (What to Avoid Doing)

Once you choose a name, you are stuck with it.  Seriously stuck.  So if you make a typo, you just have to live with it.  And once you choose a name for your page, you can't transfer that name to another page.  So, for example, David already set his profile page to www.facebook.com/WordofMobile, so now he can't use that address for the Word of Mobile business page.  Just thought I would pass that insight along to everyone.  I know that I often take a "just try it" and if it doesn't work "try something else" approach to doing things on the web, so it comes as a surprise when you can't just take something back.

Thanks for reading.  Please feel free to comment below.

I think the error is due to a virus and disabling the firewall in that case will not be an intelligent thing to do.

The topic GHD versus. CHI is highly intriguing as both do very well in hair straightening iron reviews and ratings and also both seem to have a loyal customer base, to compare both this hair straightner and judging and marking one of them as superior over the other is not an easy job to accomplish. Let us compare both these hair straightner based on the design, technology, power supply, heating time and the price and see which hair straightner scores the most.

Sometimes it seems very difficult to choose the right kayako solutions. And it is not surprising if you try to do it without going into the heart of the matter.
