I want this feature. Any timeline?

Oh yay, was wondering about the same thing! I have one that uses the name of my list and my other paper.li url is all numbers... Custom URL would be the BESTEST!

Until the custom URL solution is created, I created my own subdomain off of a domain I already owned and had it forwarded to my paper.  http://daily.blacktwincities.com

Hope that helps you!

Hi There,

I'd like to make a similar question. Why is it that I can't make my paper.li having a simply http://paper.ly/mytwitterusername as a lot of paper.li accounts I have seen around. 

It looks like this is already possible, judging from http://paper.li/JustKinky

Yeah, it is, i think. But why can't I?

Ok Kellly,

I understood now. Thank you. 

Question:  If you provide users with a customized URL, is that changed for the end user? or is that something we would have to implement when that change is available?  And how does affect our paper.li newspaper name.  Do we have to "grab" the name before anyone else?

Here is the url that was given to me when I signed up: http://paper.li/ZachBuckler/1309204528

The rest of my post vanished when I posted it.  I wanted to know if those numbers would eventually be taken away.  Or would I eventually have the option of having those numbers removed?

I would like touse the dlvr.it to tweet about my paper every day, but it says http://paper.li/BeCyberwise/1309649589

here's an example of the dlvr.it issue

How are the custom URL's coming along? 

Look forward to finding out when this will happen. Again, would love to promote more so may go down the subdomain route until this is released. Also, how will this notification be made public? Thanks

Like everyone else, I'm hoping for the release of custom url's

Any update for us?

-thx

Hi everyone,

As far as i'm concerned, defining one of my papers as the "default" paper, thus giving it the "default" URL (paper.li/twitterusername) would be fine; and for each other papers giving them an alias in top of the current number (paper.li/twitterusername/education  on top of paper.li/twitterusername/1318243099 ) would really be cool and nice !

I too would like to see custom URLs.  http://paper.li/fatlester/1297831993 isn't exactly the most flattering name for a health and nutrition-related paper.

Fat Lester is the cat, by the way.

My domain name http://diversitynewsonline is no longer forwarding to my paper at http://paper.li/sklopfer/1290499511?utm_source=subscription&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=paper_s  Why is this happening?

Bridget -- I keep my domains at simple.url. I have the domain diversitynewsonline.com pointed to http://paper.li/sklopfer/1290499511 but the paper doesn't load when I go there. It used to, and I don't understand the problem. Why don't you try it and see if you can bring up my paper by going to http://diversitynewsonline.com. Thanks, Susan Where, by the way, do you submit a ticket. I don't see anything "on the right."

Hi,

Just to say: please release custom url's and best regards Paper.li team!

Any news on custom URLs?

Eagerly awaiting a solution on this.  Would be great if we could purchase a domain and then use it for our paper. 

Still my paper is not appearing in Google search results even though my blog posts about the paper "Engineering and Management News" appear. A custom URL may be picked up by the search engines more quickly than the number.

There is a closed for comment topic. I give Twitter messages but the articles does not appear in my paper. Why? I think a facility to directly send links for inclusion in paper is required. May be a maximum number say 5 can be provided so that the publisher whenever he has some interesting link can directly submit them say 2 hours before the publication of an edition and he knows for sure that they will be included. Some of my friends commented that the paper is interesting.  We need to provide them a better reading experience.

I love my paper.li!!  Thanks for this awesome business tool.  I'm eagerly awaiting the custom URL.  

hey guys, you have been working on custom URLS since may of this year, it is now going on November. Can the programmers prioritize this a bit? Thanks so much for any updates on timing.

Sounds great Kelly. Looking forward to it.

Oh another question if you have a moment: I have "Update Frequency" set to weekly, and "promote" set to ON. This means once a week it should post to my twitter stream right? Didnt seem to happen last week, and was wondering if you knew why.

Thanks so much!

Sounds perfect. Thanks for the amazingly quick reply, and apologies to everyone else for hi-jacking this thread. Back to Clean URLS. You know you have a great product when people are begging you for short, clean, customizable URLs so they can promote you to their friends :)

Hi Kelly, I am a new user registered yesterday. Of course, this is a good thing so I want to give a try. I have two specific questions. 1. Why I can see my friend www.paper.li/tseamon/orgdev set a specific URL like that? 2, Why I can see Seamon creates new pages like Custserv? 

Maybe this has been suggested already:

register create your url, host it, and make it resolve to the paper.li address.

See my paper  http://occupy-news.net  for example, which resolves into http://paper.li/f-1320342550

Hello Ms. Seitz,

I plan to do a lot of promoting of my newspaper page and I wanted to know if you eventually offer custom URLs, will I have to reprobate that link? I just do not want to have broken links in the future. Also, will there ever be an option to have a custom link?

Chicly Yours,
The Chic Spy

Birgit Seitz, for example you have a user that has this url: http://paper.li/weejeemedia/social-media 

how did get the social-media after his user name?

Thank you,

Is it possible to have the Tweet update direct to a website using the nomad widget???
