Just copy the numbers from your Google+ profile (click on your name to get the URL in your browser) and select your username (from 3 to 25 characters, no numbers or special characters). Then you can use that shorter link to direct people to your Google+ page. Handy!

Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at 9:56 AMIf you have a google profile URL of the form https://profiles.google.com/____ that re-directs to your Google+ page, not sure if that functionality will stick around though

Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at 11:16 AMIt appears that it is impossible to edit this link once you have setup a Google+ account – all the ‘profile’ links go to your new Google+ profile page, which doesn’t have the option of setting a username. :(

Friday, July 15, 2011 at 4:23 AMThank you so much! I think it’s interesting that you don’t have the Google+ button on this article. :) Any reason?

Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 8:48 AMIf you have your own domain (and access to setup redirects in a .htaccess file) you can setup a subfolder, eg “/+” that has a .htaccess file with the text:
RedirectPermanent /+ https://plus.google.com/
This will send anyone that visits http://yourdomain.com/+ to your Google+ page.

Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 8:51 AMErm, that was supposed to read
RedirectPermanent /+ [link to your google+ profile, for example https://plus.google.com/102172805818570672161
