From the beginning of Facebook, people have used their real names to share and connect with the people they know. The one place, though, where your identity wasn't reflected was in the Web address for your profile or the Facebook Pages you administer.

Your new Facebook URL is like your personal destination, or home, on the Web. People can enter a Facebook username as a search term on Facebook or a popular search engine like Google, for example, which will make it much easier for people to find friends with common names.
