Google+ vanity URL maker
- spindritf 15y agoNice, though I'm assuming that Google will provide some sort of vanity URLs like fb did.
- kelnos 15y agoIt's odd, because pre-G+, you could set your profile URL (as well as your Picasa albums URL). Now that G+ is active, that capability seems to be gone.
- ktsmith 15y agoThere's at least one google engineer in my extended circles that was surprised the ability to edit the URL in the profile editor was gone. The instructions on how to edit the url are still there but the element is missing from the new layout. So he's "looking into it."
- kenkam 15y agoIt didn't work for me, it just redirected me to Google Turkey (http://gplus.to/kenkam http://gplus.to/kenkam --> http://www.google.com.tr/ http://www.google.com.tr/)
- wccrawford 15y agoIn case you didn't know, that link does work for some people. (Me, for instance. I ended up at your profile.) It might be a regional thing. Or they might have fixed a bug.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoI can't bring myself to honestly post "+1", but my vanity URL does the same thing sadly.
- esrauch 15y agoThe link works for me too.
- kenkam 15y agoIt works now! :D
- 1010011010 15y agogplus.to seems to have nothing to do with Google, other than someone set up a g+-specific url shortener.
- doghouselabs 15y agoand they're quietly collecting people's google id's.
- LiveTheDream 15y agoGoogle IDs are not private information.
- cycojesus 15y agoDoesn't mean I'll make it easy for them to get mine. Especially for a url that will loose its value the day google implments the functionality, a temporary vanity url is of little use (to me.)
- sp332 15y agoFor people who don't have invites yet, is it possible to determine what your Google+ ID will be and reserve a nick ahead of time?
- reaganing 15y agoI was surprised to see that Google+ doesn't have usable profile URLs like Twitter and Facebook, so this is great workaround for a nice simple URL to share. That long string of numbers does not look good.
- courtewing 15y agoI'm sure this is a feature they will roll out, but it isn't exactly a must-have for an MVP. Facebook didn't add their friendly URLs for many years.
- heyrhett 15y agoI kinda wish I could undo it now.
- krst 15y agosucks reading about google plus when you can't get an invite to g+
- guylhem 15y agosend me your email...
- clark-kent 15y agoI would like one, my email is on my HN profile.
