You can still claim a Facebook domain name

By June 15, 2009No Comments

I’ve had two clients call me this morning confused about Facebook recently allowing individuals and companies to claim custom domain names. Now instead of a long string such as www.facebook.com./234fsd0 you can actually get www.facebook.com/chris.slocumb. Unfortunately you do not have to be the owner of a personal name, trademarked name, or domain in order to claim the custom URL.

Even though the name land grab began this past Sunday, you can still claim a custom URL by logging into your Facebook account and directing your browser to http://www.facebook.com/username/.
