Getting a Facebook page username is a must for any person with a Facebook Fan page. It’s another step in the right direction for Facebook. Finally we can use a good looking url to direct people to. Therefore a Facebook page url can change from this ugly one:

Why should you choose a Facebook username for your Facebook Fan Page?
- It’s great for branding your page
- It’s make it easier to find your page on Facebook
- You can put this username on a business card. Looks allot better than a page ID.
- Usernames allow public entities to easily promote your presence on Facebook with a short URL (http://www.facebook.com/companyname). This username can be used in your marketing communications, company website and business cards.
Who can qualify for a Facebook username vanity url?
All Pages are eligible to claim usernames if they have more than 25 fans.
Where do you go to get a Facebook username?
http://www.facebook.com/username
Watch this video below to see me create a Facebook username.
You will also see that Facebook assigned me a username for my main account that is one of my pages names…Go and set yours now before this happens to you.
Extra Facebook username tips:
Generic names are not available so if you are after “flower” or “computer” it is not allowed. When choosing a Facebook vanity url do not make a mistake because you cannot change it later.

Are you sure it is 25fans? I thought it was something like “10 likes”?
haha.
You should go around facebook pages to sell this info.
If the business has 25 fans/10 likes and still the ugly name, you tell them for $** I will get you a vanity url
