If you are trying to tell someone how to get to Google+ profile (and posts), it's not easy. Well, it's relatively easy if they're already a Google user, in some contexts, but, in general, not. And for celebrities or businessfolk looking to make a Google+ presence, that's a big consideration.<\/p>\n

Terrence's solution is simply to have a domain name redirect to your Google+ profile. \u00a0Another, less elaborate solution is to use gplus.to<\/a>, which lets you register a name and does the redirect for you — thus, http:\/\/gplus.to\/davehill<\/a> goes to my profile. \u00a0I could put that on a personal business card, were I so inclined.<\/p>\n

Taking Matters Into My Own Hands<\/b><\/p>\n

Got tired of waiting for Google+ to get vanity URLs or at the very least something simpler to remember. It was just too hard for me to tell people how to find me. On Facebook, I can tell people to go to http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/terrencel<\/a> . Really easy for them to remember. More importantly, really easy for me to remember. <\/p>\n

There is no way I'm remembering that 21 digit number Google uses nor am I going to give that out to people. So if you want to remember how to get to me now, it is really easy. Just go to terrencelui.com<\/a> It will redirect to here. <\/p>\n

Who else thinks Google needs to do something about the URLs around here?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
