Facebook Vanity URLs and The Smurfs

June 23rd, 2009 : posted by matt


Recently the social networking site Facebook introduced what people have begun to call Vanity URLs. Instead of your profile page having a long and difficult to remember URL such as http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=123456789, you can now choose a username that will get tacked on to the end of the URL such as facebook.com/johnsmith.

This doesn't mean a huge amount to most Facebook users. Most people leave their profile page fully viewable only by people they've become 'friends' with (this is the default setting). Your friends have you in their friends list, therefore there's no real need to have a short, memorable URL to give out to people.

However, Vanity URLs make much more sense when you look at Facebook Pages. Any user can create a Facebook Page. People create pages to allow Facebook users - or 'fans' - to congregate around a common interest.
