However what is the address for it? Does it look easy to remember?

No it isn't.

When someone (for the first time) build a facebook page it's address somehow look in the form : "http://www.facebook.com/pages/takeme2yourheart/250407861607", is there anyone who can keep remember it easily?

But what will be the case if the address appear in the form "http://www.facebook.com/takeme2yourheart".

Yes, this time approx cent percent of people (who visit your blog regularly or are very much aware of your blog) would remember your page address, as the suffix (i.e."http://www.facebook.com/-- your blog name --") represent your blog name.

Facebook has just come up with the solution, they revealed :

" When 25 or more people are connected to your page, you can select a username for your Facebook Page by visiting www.facebook.com/username. Facebook usernames will be available in basic text forms, and you can only choose a single username for each of the Pages that you administer. The Page username must be at least five characters in length and only include alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9), or a period or full stop ("."). "
