Facebook uses fb.me as a shortened domain name for URL shortening purposes. Here’s why:
- Shorter Links for Sharing – A long Facebook URL (e.g., a post, profile, or event) can be shortened using fb.me, making it easier to share on social media, SMS, or printed materials.
- Brand Recognition – The “fb” is instantly recognizable as Facebook, making it a natural and trusted link shortener.
- Mobile Optimization – Shortened URLs using fb.me can be optimized to open in the Facebook app, improving user experience on mobile devices.
- Link Tracking & Analytics – Facebook can track link clicks, engagement, and other metrics using these shortened links.
- Avoiding Third-Party Shorteners – Instead of relying on external services like Bit.ly, Facebook controls its own link shortening to ensure security and reliability.
Essentially, fb.me is just a branded URL shortener that keeps links neat, trackable, and user-friendly.
