Finally, Google+ will be rolling out vanity URLs
Google+ is to be introducing vanity URLs which will allow its
users to further customise their Google+ profiles with a unique
easy to remember URL for example plus.google.com/+ResourceTechniques.
Google announced Monday that the vanity URLs are short and easy
to remember web addresses that link directly to the user’s
profile.
Right now each Google+ member is identified by a long string of
numbers like this https://plus.google.com/108661104794439014924.
Saurabh Sharma, a product manager at Google said in a recent
post that the personalised address will be “available to
people and pages worldwide”, however did not specify a
date.
For the time being these personalised URLs will be limited to a
number of verified profiles and pages like David Beckham and
Britney
Spears as well as popular brands like Toyota but Google are
planning on making this available to everyone in the near
future.
These URLs will make it easier for users to find your profiles
through Google+ as well as the search engines. Fans have been
waiting a long time for Google+ to follow in the footsteps of other
social networks like Facebook and Twitter with this feature so
reactions have been very positive about this latest
announcement.
Stay tuned to ensure you are the first to be able to choose your
vanity URL as there is nothing more annoying than someone with the
same name getting their first!
