If you use Facebook this may interest you. If you use Facebook for Marketing online then this had better excite you.Facebook has finally caught up to the likes of MySpace. So what is the Buzz all about?
As of Saturday June 13, 2009 at 12:01 a.m. EDT, Facebook's millions of users will finally be able to claim a name to use as part of their profile page's web address - as in http://facebook.com/insert name here.
This is incredibly exciting and important news for marketer's as now we can use this as a great branding tool.
Keep in mind however that Fan pages for businesses, brands and celebrities will be able to adopt such names, too, but they needed to have been on Facebook by May 31, with at least 1,000 fans at that time.
This will be based on a First come - First serve basis. According to Facebook official's, so if your name is Garret Belisle ;) it might be a good idea to stake one out early.
Facebook has implemented a great rule to avoid "squatting" on any popular names, only users who joined Facebook before 3 p.m. Tuesday will be able to sign up for usernames on Saturday. Everyone else has to wait until June 28.
So like I said this is a huge branding opportunity and a great way to get yourself known and not to mention with a link to Facebook it offer's some potential search love.
Make sure you get it done ASAP.
See Facebook for further details.
