Alright you guys, I'm gonna blow your minds.

Try this kind of link: profiles.google.com/[YOUR USER NAME HERE]

For example, vrypan's custom link would be: http://profiles.google.com/vrypan

discuss

Sweet. But how does this work? I'm not the only James Britt on g+, but profiles.google.com/jamesbritt goes to my profile page.

It uses your gmail id. This "profile.google.com/<emailid>" is there before the Buzz time, long before Google+.

I see it works for vrypan, but it doesn't work for me. It gives me a 404 error and I have no idea why.

That's a neat trick until you say "Google apps" and it all falls apart.

Yea, I remember having my Google Profile back in the day, before + or Buzz.
