    If you have a Facebook page to promote your business you probably hate the url since when created it was so long. To bulky to type in and visit easily, and hard to promote your fan page.

    Like the custom usernames for a personal profile you can create one for a Fan Page.

    Example:
    Before - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Atwoo...ordable-and-Reliable-Web-Hosting/227607484520
    After - http://www.facebook.com/MPORGsoft

    To create your username visit:
    http://www.facebook.com/username/

    At the bottom click:
    Set a username for your Pages.

    There is a requirement to be eligible to change the name of your Page. Your page must have 25 fans.

    Hey thanks for sharing mate. I had changed for my personal profile as it popped up automatically on my homepage, however I was searching for my fan page to do the same. This helped me a lot :)

    Just a warning as well. Just like changing your profile url once changed it cannot be edited/changed/etc so make sure no typos and it's what you want. And it also must be available, unique.

    That was the very first thing I did when I set up a Facebook page for my site. Definitely a good idea and makes the link much easier to remember/share.

    You can get an even shorter URL with http://www.fbfollow.me for free. Chances are your required name is still available and you don't have to have lots of followers on you page to get it.

    You can get username.fbfollow.me

    Give it a go!

    You can also get a link for groups from fbfollow.me. I don't think Facebook currently offer one for groups.

    I'm new to FB and this post was very helpful. Thanks for sharing this!
    Other guys (in related topics) notice that it's needed to get from 25 to 100 funs (or followers) before you can get short url :D
