Facebook Adding Vanity URL Names – Don’t Wait!
Let the gold rush begin Friday night at 9:01pm…Finally, Facebook has joined the ranks of most other social networking sites. On Friday night, Facebook will allow you to have your personalised vanity URL for your Facebook profile.
Instead of http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=615109271
You can now have http://www.facebook.com/stevekhart
You can sign up for a username starting at 9:01 p.m. PDT on Friday, June 12, 2009, by visiting http://www.facebook.com/username/. After selecting one for your application or company name, you will see a green check mark indicating that the name is available before you actually claim it.
Consisting of at least five characters (alphanumeric or full stop) the ability to register your http://www.facebook.co.uk/username will become available on 12:01am EDT on Saturday June 13th, so if you really want your name (and it happens to be John Smith) then I’d get there quickly as they’ll probably be gone pretty quick in this Facebook vanity URL land rush.
To stop people from getting a load of names this will only be available to accounts that are already open and active, and you will also need to be careful about what you choose because they will not be able to be changed after selection.

See All Your Social Profiles on GizaPage
Thanks to the folks over at www.cmswire.com for turning me on to the newest social network profile management tool – www.gizapage.com. Now I have one place to track all my social network profiles.

Online identity management takes a lot of time. This is because each site you have a profile on has unique information based on the type of social network. For instance, Facebook is used to maintain social connections where LinkedIn is intended to be more work centric. What if you wanted to have a page that contained all your social networking profiled pages?
This is where GizaPage comes into play. GizaPage (Beta) is a social network organizer that helps consumers and brands manage their online presence by consolidating their many social networking profiles side by side under a personalized URL. GizaPage provides a secure and centralized way to share profiles while more deeply engaging online with others by exploring their profiles and identifying additional social networks they have in common. GizaPage was founded in 2008 and develops tools to help consumers and brands organize the social web around them by consolidating their online profiles, connecting with others and more easily navigating the social sphere.
With the service, a user imports all their profile information from various social networks. At the moment, GizaPage supports around 40 social sites including Flickr, Facebook, FriendFeed, Digg and so on. After your GizaPage is configured, you have one location for your online contacts to see your activities across your personal social networking universe.
What other tools do you use for profile management?
