Facebook FanPage Incentive

For everyone who has a Facebook Fanpage set up, here is some incentive to get your fan base up. As soon as you reach 100 fans on your page you can register your own username. This will give your Fanpage significantly more visibility to the public

Facebook Page Frenzy Due Today: URLs Available to All

A reminder: Facebook Fanpage URL's are now available. Facebook has switched on Facebook URLs for pages with less than 1000 fans: in other words, almost all Facebook pages will be able to set up facebook.com/yourbrandhere. You’ll be able to register by visiting Facebook.com/username

The Facebook help section reads:

Your Facebook Page must meet two requirements: it must have been live on Facebook prior to the May 31, 2009 cut-off date and have had a minimum 1,000 fans at that time.

This limitation is temporary. All Pages created after May 31, 2009 or that had less than 1,000 fans on that day will be eligible to claim usernames on Sunday, June 28, 2009 if they have more than 25 fans.Update:

Facebook has now increased the minimum number of fans required from 25 to 100. No reason was given for the change, which occurred in the Facebook Help text today.

Facebook Update!

As of last Friday, Facebook is allowing users to create usernames! This is a big step for the 200,000,000+ user giant of the social media scene.

It allows you to tell people say, "Hey dude, check me out on Facebook at facebook.com/drewshope" instead of saying, "Hey dude, check me out on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/drewshope?v=app_2795223269. That's, um, have a pen? home.php... question mark ref equals... you know what, just let me friend you or something."

Nifty.

This also allows you to have all your user names the same across the social media board, which can really help your findability.
