    A Facebook Favor

    Tonight at midnight Facebook will allow businesses with fan pages to reserve a branded URL, but I just learned you must have over 1,000 fans to do so. Currently the Duct Tape Marketing fan page on Facebook needs a few more to top 1,000. Just for fun won’t you join today and push us over the top? Thanks

    Update: We did top the 1000 mark before midnight, but then I learned from Facebook that you had to do that by May 31st, Doh! – Anyway thanks to the folks that supported this in various SM outposts – very nice display of the power of social media.

    • Sorry John,
      but I think you are out of luck with this one.

      See: http://www.facebook.com/help.php?page=900

      "... May 31, 2009 cut-off date and have had a minimum 1,000 fans at that time."

      At that time.

      I like your fb.example.com strategy. Have adopted it for myself.

      Already a fan by the way.

      Yours
      John
    • Hi John,

      I use Scribefire which allows me to update and edit my blog directly from my Firefox browser. LOVE IT!

      Thanks for your recommendations!

      Happy weekend.

    • I see you've just topped over to 1044 Fans! Congratulations John, I've always enjoyed reading your blog articles , keep it up!
    • Thanks for the info!

      I got my name as the username.

      You don't need 1,000 Fans to get your own username.

      Your Facebook account must be registered before June 9 as the only criteria.

      Mike
    • I joined but later I noticed the 1,000 person limit by the end of May. Sorry...
    • Its nice that FB is allowing people and businesses to have a branded display URL. My friend @brian_hancock found an interesting thing about the possibility of duplicate content issues with FB urls. http://www.brian-hancock.com/facebook/facebook-...
    • Too many restrictions. Hopefully it all works out in the end for those of us looking for usernames. Thanks for the update.
