So what's the best feature in Twitter that makes us like it more than Facebook, except of course the status updates?

Without a doubt, its the clean URL that we get to choose for our Twitter profile. Facebook, on the other hand, does not let you do so and forcefully assigns an ID to your profile which is not only very ugly but also lengthy and forgetful.

But a recent post at the Facebook blog suggests that it's soon going to offer clean URLs to users and it's calling it as Facebook usernames.

So as you see above, Facebook username is going to be nothing but a clean URL for your Facebook profile which includes your username, making it easy for you to advertise your profile with vanity and will also let other Facebook users remember the URL to your profile, in case they have a recommendation.

This will also give the users an edge in search engine results for their name as the keyword, especially users like me who are very concerned about their web presence.

The feature will be live on June 13, so make sure to grab the URL for your profile as soon as possible as it will served on a first-come, first-serve basis. Let the countdown begin.
