Has your school already requested and received your Facebook vanity url? This Saturday morning at 12.01am anyone will be able to choose their own URL for your social profile on Facebook, so instead of the current long URLs we all have,you will be able to choose your school’s name (facebook.com/usegtours) to make all your marketing material look pretty and allowing you to easily direct people to your facebook site.

There are also a few US Universities and Colleges who have requested their new Facebook vanity URL

nice and clean, isn’t it?
Of course, some other social media sites, such as Myspace and Twitter have always used vanity urls but its best to make sure your University’s brand is safe in your marketing hands. Fill out this form with Facebook TODAY to ensure no one squats on your facebook URL until you get to it.
And while you’re at it, you should check and see where else you should be signing up your school’s name.
We’re setting our alarms for 12.01 on Saturday – just to make sure to snag our vanity urls!
