When Facebook first rolled out custom usernames, we were cautioned that much like a bad tattoo, you wouldn’t be able to undo them. However, it now appears that Facebook has updated their policy.  Whether this is due to being inundated with requests to change poor name choices, or maybe just because registrations have slowed to a more manageable pace this can be good news.

When I choose my custom username I used my business name.  That was fine until I decided to create a fan page for my business and wanted to give it an easy to remember URL name.  The name I really wanted outsourcingpro was taken, BY ME!!!!  Well I fixed that today.

Change Your Facebook Username

Go to “Account Settings” and look under “Username.”  Just remember that as things currently stand Facebook will only let you make this change once.

Just go to http://www.facebook.com/username/ and click “Set A Username For Your Pages”.

Update! Using this link will now only change the URL to your facebook page not the name of the page.  In order to change your page name you must have less than 101 fans.   Simply click the “Edit Page” button on your page and then settings and change the page name there.
