Stefan Svartling - 2:28 PM (edited 2:31 PM) - Extended circlesI just noticed a cool thing: By replacing the first part of the permalink: https://plus.google.com/104961406012654314344/(the long number is actually our profile URL)
With my Profile URL:
https://profiles.google.com/svartling/
So the link gets like this:
https://profiles.google.com/svartling/posts/YUUamf9AdBp
It will forward to the same post.
So this is PROOF that we soon will get better looking Vanity URL's.
Our Google+ Profile pages will soon have URL's like this:
https://plus.google.com/svartlingMuch nicer looking eh? :)Edit

Non-commercial people's only of course.2:38 PMStefan Svartling - +Jannik Lindquist I don't think so.I never seen URL's like that. In fact they can't look like that.2:38 PM - EditStefan Svartling - +John I think it is important that we have better looking permalinks. Then our public posts gets indexed by Google with our usernames.2:40 PM (edited 2:41 PM) - Edit+1Stefan Svartling - +Jannik Lindquist Yeah but not janniklindquist/smugmug.com that you typed above :)2:42 PM - EditGeorge Hall - Well, till they get the vanity URLs in place, Stefan's method is actually a good workaround. I've just tweeted a post to my whole profile Pluses by doing profiles.google.com/geehall1 and it works nicely. Don't know how it looks from a non-Plus user's POV, though.2:45 PMStefan Svartling - +George Hall Yes it is a good workaround and as soon we go out of beta all our permalinks will be converted to this nicer looking permalinks.2:53 PM - Edit+1
