Facebook is the most popular social networking 
site. When someone registers an account there, their profile id or profile URL is a series of some random numbers. That series of random numbers is very difficult to remember for us and even for our friends who want to visit our profile on Facebook. So can you change your profile id or URL?
Answer to the above question is YES! We can now change our Facebook username. We can select any username which we want and is available. We can choose an easy to remember and search username. Also an username will be of great help for your friends as it will help them remember it easily which was impossible in default Facebook id or URL. A Facebook username will make it an easy task for someone to find you on Facebook.
Have A Look At My Old Profile URL:
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?aid=100000195930706
And My New Profile URL:
www.facebook.com/sakshamtalwar
See the difference? Which one of them will you remember easily? I bet it’s the second one! Want to know how I changed my username? Read further…
1.) Sign into your Facebook account.
2.) Go to Facebook username changing page.
3.) Type the username you want for your profile, check if its available. If it’s available click on create. Alternatively you can select any of the usernames that Facebook suggests. Choose an username carefully!
4.) Click on Confirm. Think twice before clicking on this button! You will not be able to change your username later!
And do not worry! Even your older profile URL / username will redirect to your new profile URL / username!
Now you have your own unique and easy to remember Facebook username. Enjoy the new username!
Also you can change username / URL of your pages on Facebook. I will write on it soon!

Nice post, are you sure you do not need 25 friends before you can amend the name and ditch the digits ?
I’ve never heard that buddy, but when i changed my username I had more than25 friends. Getting them is not a hard task according to me!
i tried for facebook fan’s page but can’t… i think my page is new that’s why..
thanks for great tips.
So you only get one shot at changing it… Pretty lame of Facebook

As an alternative you can get free short URLS for your Facebook pages, groups, profiles and apps from http://www.fbfollow.me
You can have addresses like:
myname.fbfollow.me
myname.fbfind.me
myname.fbjoin.me
myname.fbadd.me
myname.fbtry.me
Hmmm, thanks for letting us know!
For those who can’t change the name this is precious: http://societygaps.wordpress.com/2011/08/31/how-to-change-your-facebook-name/
Nice post there buddy, your blog is so interesting. You can accept or reject huge friends request on facebook automatically using a simple script code.
have you got any app suggestion to use with the new profile timeline? Most of the users haven’t updated their profile yet.
Another ting is the facebook page notes that we used to use for grabbing feeds into facebook from our site, it is going to be closed. What might be the alternative?
