Facebook will soon lift their limitation on Pages with fewer than 1,000 fans having a unique URL. The company announced they will allow smaller fan pages opportunity to claim their desired URL on June 28th.
I’m not sure that I agree with Facebook’s decision to limit them in the first place, but it looks like smaller brands and groups will now see their land-rush.
Interestingly enough, Facebook recently took down a form to allow trademark holders to claim their trademark before someone else did. Again, not much logic in this, but it is what it is.
At least the wait is almost over – or at least the end is in sight – when, on June 28th, groups of all sizes will be able to register their unique URL. Hopefully your brand will be available.
I’m wondering, is Facebook forgetting who boosted their popularity before big brands jumped on? Are they too good for the “little guy”?
