How to create Google+ profile nickname

by Vincent George

Google+ is the new social network launched last week, and the new third party web applications are started to launch for Google+. Here is the New and excellent web application which used to Choose Nickname for our Google+ profile. Yes, like Facebook we can create the Google+ profile nickname but it is not the Official one but it can be used to share our Profile URL in short form. (ex: http://gplus.to/jinuem)

First Go to Google+ Home page http://plus.google.com and login with your Login details. After login Click Profile Icon button.

After your Profile is loaded Check the Address bar. Copy the PROFILE ID from the URL (ex: 100606730323900645181)

Now go to http://gplus.to and you can make your own Nickname for your Profile. Type the nickname in NICK NAME text box which you need for your profile and Paste the Profile ID in the GOOGLE+ ID text box.

And Click ‘ADD’ button. You will get Confirmation message on the site and you can visit your Google+ profile by the New Nickname fo Gplus (ex: http://gplus.to/nickname). Soon add your Nickname before someone takes it.

When ever i tried to make nick name, it always shows “This Google+ Id is already registered for” like this. Any solutions???

Thanks in advance
1. Vincent Raja August 11, 2011 at 4:11 pm
  
  Some one already registered that username. so try some other unique name.

    Thanks for your attention.
    
    had tried countless times/nicknames. same results. Is there any limitation to create nickname, means only once like that????
    
    Thanks in advance.

      Yes of course. One username for one account. you can not create another username for same account.

        Now i got it, i updated with desired name instead of creating new. It worked.
        
        Thanks again..,

how to rename my nikename or remove the google PROFILE ID from gplus.to?
thanks.
1. Vincent Raja August 15, 2011 at 9:07 am
  
  I think there is no way to rename or Remove till now.
2. vinay August 16, 2011 at 2:07 pm
  
  Instead of rename, there is an option of “update nickname”. Just log on to your G+ and go to the http://gplus.to, click the “update nickname”.
