Hi Syed, Sure.
My friend (who is an Expert in Social Media Marketing) told me that modify Social Media Profile URL to my name would be more great in terms of Search Engine ORM (Online Reputation Management).
Example: My old profile URL was ( http://people.bayt.com/13541315/) and after I modified it to the correct standard, it becomes ( http://people.bayt.com/mohammad-alrekabat/).
The benefits are: - Now it can be more easy for me to do branding for my social media profile, this is the most important aspect in personalized branding management.
- SEO Wise: when someone searching on my name.
- Professionalism: the most important aspect for.
If we back to the above example, imagine that i add my profile URL ( people.bayt.com/13541315) at my signature or sending the URL during chat with someone, I think URL with numbers not professional as well as it is meaningless if we comparing it to this profile URL ( people.bayt.com/mohammad-alrekabat).

@Mohammad Alrekabat: That's a correct response, by social media evangelist.
As Online branding is the most important phase and Search Engine Crawlers search your name even with the Title and with URL customized username so ofcourse it benefits every professional individual in personalized branding aspect.
Have a good day to all.
