Google has announced custom profile URL for Google+ users. Now users can select their vanity profile URL in Google+. Google has already enabled this feature for some users and pages. But other users will have to wait for some more days to get vanity URL. It is unclear when Google will roll out this new feature for all users.
Google has announced in a post saying, “We’ve started rolling out custom URLs to a limited set of verified profiles and pages on Google+. (In fact, now you can find us at google.com/+googleplus). While we’re not quite ready for everyone to start claiming their own custom URLs, we plan to expand the availability over time, so stay tuned!.”
Facebook also allows users to select vanity URL and this feature was launched on Facebook in 2009. Custom vanity URL makes it way to remember the profile link of pages and users. If you take a look on default URL of profiles on Google+, it is not easy to remember in any way. Vanity URL is a requested feature by power users of Google+. But it will be interesting to see how Google+ will roll out this feature.
