Facebook To Charge For Vanity URLs?

  • 0 min read

AllFacebook noticed a poll asking users if they would pay for a vanity URL on the service. Some select few have already gotten vanity URLs, like AllFacebook for one (facebook.com/allfacebook – compare to your own profile URL), but it is no a feature open to the public.

What would it mean if Facebook started charging for vanity URLs? Well, first of all we’d have a rush for important keywords, like “hockey”, “books”, “games” and so on. It would basically be the hunt for great domain names all over again. And why shouldn’t Facebook move on this? Why indeed.
