unique user a visitor to a website that has
not been to that site previously during the
queried time period. Increases in the number
of unique users over time indicate that mar-

see a decrease in unique users over time are
perhaps engaging with an already informed
customer base.
username a short name used to identify a fan
page or profile on Facebook, using the con-
vention http://www.facebook.com/vanityname. Vanity
names are important for simplifying complex
Urls that Facebook otherwise uses for fan

username for their personal profile and one
for any fan page they administer. Personal
usernames can be changed one time; fan
page usernames cannot be changed. To
secure usernames, users should go to http://
facebook.com/username.
