Remember a few weeks ago when Facebook allowed everyone to grab their own vanity url? Now they’ve just opened up the ability for you to choose a name for your pages, too. You just need 100 fans to be eligible. Just like you’d see in the domain grabbing world, the same thing is happening on Facebook.
Wow, someone created “Dennis NotYu” under our company name. I’ll take that as a compliment! At the same time, you can report folks who infringe on your brand or company name.
We were too late to get this for a client that did funeral planning. Morbid that this girl’s personal profile name is “funerals”– I would have expected her to dress in all black.
So get your fan pages each up to 100 fans and start grabbing names– there are a ton still available. Go to facebook.com/usernames.
