Gerard, I checked and you are right. I got the email 8 days ago! Funny how I never saw this mentioned elsewhere.
Phil, gotta bookmark. I haven't messed much with Google in the last several months, and it was frustrating. Hope that as biz slows down (maybe? I dunno...it's been a banner year), I can go in and figure it out.
Hello -
Thanks for the heads-up about the change. It will be much easier to remember my own choice than all those numbers!
Have a happy day -
Lynn
Phil - Yes, I was so glad when they made that change. I changed mine last week. You can do the same on your biz page on G+ too.
Thanks, Phil. Maybe I can make time for this today. Definitely moved up on my list.
Phil, I was first on the line last week when they sent me my business and personal one..it is a bit more friendly!
Good morning Phil. This stuff is pretty complicated for me, but with your post and encouragement, I will check it out. Enjoy the day.
Joe -- what you say? You didn't get Joe in there? Why not!? I think you should have two, one with Joe and one without.
Nice. Just changed mine to Google.com/ThunderGod. Thanks for the tip my friend!
J Phillip, you are gonna LOVE this... so I just signed in to get mine... and on my own G+ feed I see....
Looks like I did this step a few days ago and I didn't even mentally absorb what I was doing or how I could go USE it... and replace the longer URL until this am when I saw your post...
Amazing how we can go thru our days blindly doing stuff without processing what it means...
Happy Wednesday!
Hi Phil - In case anyone was wondering, AR didn't like the new link when I tried to use it to update my Google+ link on my AR profile - but it doesn't seem to matter since the old Google+ link - the one with the long string of numbers - appears to be still functional.
Good morning Philip, thank you sir for sharing this great blog post, i was aware the G-url and need to get back to using Google+ daily, I have many followers from AR and follow many myself. Have a great day and thanks for the update.
Oh, that's great. I haven't gotten that message yet. I will look into it.
Was excited to receive that email, myself. Good thing my name isn't common and was still available :)
Philip, I got my notification that I could get my personalized url last week. I did not play with it to see how it could be changed, if any. It is a good idea that they added this so that we can be found much easier and adds one more reference to our name in the search engines.
