OK so our first Internet Tip is about Facebook and their username system.

First we will focus on your personal profile pages.
Facebook allows their users to have a “Vanity URL” as some call it, its just a way to get your a smaller URL then the long one that Facebook provides when you first get setup.
http://www.facebook.com/yourusername
The requirements to get your Facebook profile username are:
- You must have 1000 friends.
- After you have 1000 friends, visit http://www.facebook.com/username and get your username setup.
Yes i know that is a lot for friends, but some people have done it, and if your important enough to want a “Vanity URL” then you should find getting that many friends easy as pie.
This section is on Facebook Fan Pages.
To the requirements to get your “Vanity URL” for your Facebook Fan Page are:
- You must get 25 fans.
- Once you have 25 fans, visit http://www.facebook.com/username and get your username all setup.
Facebook fan pages are cake to setup, and it should only take you a couple days to get that many fans.
