Remember several weeks ago when I blogged about the addition of a new feature on Facebook and urged you all to claim your unique user name?
There were screams of caution during this process as Facebook warned you to choose your name wisely and carefully, as you would be stuck with it forever.
Well, forever is sooner than we all thought. You are now able to change your facebook username if you did not choose wisely and carefully. This is great news if you selected that you find unbearable and cannot live with. The not-so-great news is that there is, as time goes on, less and less of a selection to choose from.
Tip: Pick a name that you don’t have to spell out for everyone, that is easy to remember and that reflects you or your business in some way and above all, will stand the test of time.
Caution: Facebook now claims that you will only be able to change your name once. I wouldn’t bet on that seeing as they reversed this policy so quickly after the launch of this new program, but in the interest of full disclosure, I thought I should mention it.
MySpace, in case you use it, also has this feature. It really does make it easy to have people who are looking find you.
So go forth and claim your (new) URL Just login to your account. Go to settings, then your account and click on change next to where it says “User Name”
