Presently Google Plus is using long ID in the URL and there is no such link as http://plus.google.com/YourUserName and so it’s hard to remember or to tell your friends about your G+ link.
The reason Google+ doesn't use vanity URLs is because it may lead to spammers figuring out the email addresses of millions of Google+ users.
To direct people to your profile page, you will need to e-mail them or prepare a hyperlink or an icon on your website and when they click on it and link to your Google Plus profile page. Such a long process.
Well, we are here with a tip to make it easy with the help of GPlus.
GPlus is a simple web app that will let you choose your own username and give you a short, custom link gplus.to/YourUserName for your Google Plus profile page. Here’s how.
