In recent years, I’ve been sharing the Did You Know?/Shift Happens video during my Web Ministry Past, Present and Future presentations. Like technology itself, this video has evolved rapidly. Originally intended as a what’s new in technology presentation for his colleagues, Colorado high school teacher, Karl Fisch, was able tap the evolution of communications and technology; telling the story simply for all to understand. Now in its fourth iteration, I am continually surprised to hear gasps from the audience when sharing this gem. Enjoy!

How to create your own friendly URL for Facebook
A client recently asked me how to create a friendly URL or vanity URL for their Facebook page. Here’s an example of mine: www.Facebook.com/MattCarlisle. A friendly URL is helpful when you are promoting your Facebook group or fan page; easily recognizable for quick access. Here are the instructions I shared with my client:
- Log into Facebook
- Click “Account” tab in upper right corner
- Chose “Account Settings”
- Click the “Change” text link in the username category
- You can then create your own unique username; this will be your domain extension (chose something short and identifiable). Be aware, you can only make this request once.
Simple stuff.
Best described as a tech-toting evangelist for web and social media, Matt Carlisle consults with non-profits and faith groups to make the necessary changes to fully embrace new media.
