A username for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. is very important and has a lot of advantages. Inspite of many advantage and usefulness of the username, I have found that many people are still not even aware of what a username is. So, I have decided to write this simple tutorial about the benefits of username and how to get it on facebook (for other social networking websites it will work more or less the same way).
For an example: "www.facebook.com/theclearfix" , where 'theclearfix' is the username for the theClearfix Facebook Fanpage.
The username is also used for your Facebook email address for your personal account.
For an example: "theclearfix@facebook.com"
Generally, username is some variation of your name but that is not a restriction and you may use whatever you want.
Your Facebook URL after using a username looks something like this:
1) Goto Account Settings:
2) In 'username' section you can set the username of your liking as per its availibility.
Hope this article helped you. :-)
