The Quick and Easy Way To Get A Google Plus URL.

 

One definite advantage that Facebook have over Google Plus at the moment is the ability to get yourself a nice neat URL for your Profile or Page eg www.facebook.com/joebloggs.


Currently Google Plus do not have this facility.Something to do with Google Plus being linked to GMail apparently.


However if you get yourselves over to a .nifty website called   

 http://gplus.to

When you get there simply type in the nickname you would like for your page or profile and then enter the numbers that comes after https://plus.google.com




For example if your google plus page has the address:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/113387787806936309243/posts enter 113387787806936309243


Then voila you have a nice tidy URL like www.gplus.to/mikesharp which you can write down easily or put on a business card.



Important: use the address of your  profile page NOT your Home page 


Your Home page is the page with your "Stream" , your profile page has just your posts



Please let me know if you have any questions, time for tea!


Best Wishes
