Are you also missing vanity URLs for user profiles with Google Plus? Well unlike Facebook and Twitter, Google+ doesn’t offer vanity URLs for user profiles. The reason Google+ doesn’t use vanity URLs is because those could lead to spammers figuring out the email addresses of millions of Google+ users (since by default your Gmail username is linked to your Google Profile for e.g. http://profiles.google.com//).

Even in Facebook it is the same, I mean your profile username is your email ID with @facebook.com following your username. However, it seems that after being caught with Google Buzz privacy nightmare. Google is taking every step carefully. They seem to be very cautious and though Google+ is in development stage but Google doesn’t seem to take chance with any experiment that can go wrong. 
Of course, this leads to a problem: you don’t want to be telling people to type in a long string of numbers to find your Google+ Profile. That’s where Gplus.to comes in. This simple little app lets you create a short URL for your Google+ page, making it easy to share with your friends. Mine, for example, is Gplus.to/electronicgurudev, which is much easier to remember than a random strong of numbers. Gplus.to fills a gap that Google+ doesn’t currently address. Should Google give users the ability to create vanity URLs, or is it too much of a privacy concern because of its connection to Gmail?

Sharing is caring!
