How to Get a short FACEBOOK profile link

Take a look at my friends profile id which is somewhat like this https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002578853638.

As you can see the profile link is very big and looks weird. You can change that link to whatever name you want. That means he can change it to http://www.facebook.com/Puneet if it is available.

To make your facebook link short follow these simple steps.

1. Login to your facebook Account.
2. Open This Link http://www.facebook.com/username
3. You will be redirected to a page.
4. In that Select your Profile ID and it asks your desired username.
5. Type the desired username in the given box and check availability.
6. If it is available then click on confirm.

Before you confirm it, you have to keep some rules in mind.

1. You can’t change the username once you set it.
2. You can’t transfer the ownership of a username to another party.
3. You can’t violate anyone else’s trademark rights.
4. If you are acquiring a username to sell it in the future (squatting), you will lose it.
5. Usernames may be reclaimed for other unauthorized usages.

If these things are ok with you then change your username now.
