Get a Fan Page Username!

Here is a little known fact about Fan Pages:

If you have more than 25 fans, you can get a username for your fan page and shorten your URL substantially.

For instance, here's my fan page URL and I only have 30 fans so far:
http://www.facebook.com/faefabfinds

Notice there's no /#/pages/Faerie-Fabulous-Finds/bunchofnumbers?ref=ts (yeah!)

Read about the fan page username rules here: http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=175#/help.php?page=900

Go here to get YOUR fan page username: http://www.facebook.com/username/

IMPORTANT: This website allows you to get a username for both your profile (your personal page) AND your fan page (when it's eligible). You must select which page you want to create a username for. Once you create a username, it cannot be changed.
