Yep, LinkedIn and G+ are a bit inconsistent with FB and Twitter...
I'm not sure which one is better, probably the best would be to ask for the url, but "silently" (or explicitly) accept the username too for twitter and FB, something like: "URL or username of your FB/Twitter account".
I think when I wrote my SMF mod I did it that way because G+ and LI provide the full url, while FB and Twitter are more oriented towards the use of the username.
Opinions are welcome.

yeah, it's somewhat inconsistent but that's the nature of those fields..
LinkedIn and G+ can have various formats ..
plus.google.com/103918273618145415664
or just google.com/+ThorstenEurich
Since you can add various other services yourself (e.g. MySpace, Xing or whatever) there's always the possibility of an inconsistency. I'd leave it as it currently is...

From what I heard, Google plus is going to have the fate of Orkut. They have already detached Photos and there was a blog post from Google saying that YouTube too will be free.
