should the profile url have the word 'profile'?

Facebook supports facebook.com­/adamcogan
Twitter supports twitter.com­/adamcogan

I wonder if you think that gdgt.com­/adamcogan/ should work... or at least redirect to gdgt.com­/profile­/adamcogan/

I'd love to, Adam, but that URL space is reserved for the companies within our database:
gdgt.com­/apple­/iphone­/4s/

gdgt.com­/htc­/one­/x/

I'm not especially partial to having stuff like "profile" in the path, but it's the only way to keep the namespaces separate and not risk collisions.

OK, thats cool. I notice that GetSatisfaction does the same. With the one exception they use "People" e.g

https:­/­/getsatisfaction.com­/people­/adamcogan

Do you think that any better?
