I just learned that in order to get a vanity URL on Facebook I need to have 25 fans. It turns out it's 100, not 25. I read the Facebook rules rather than the other post I saw.
I had no idea.
If you would be so kind as to become a fan on my pages, I will gladly return the favor.
Thank you so much.
My pages are
and
Always glad to help a Donovan (my grandmother's maiden name) as well as a AR buddy...
good luck!
Hi Christine! I did the same as Kathleen--both pages. My question to you--when you go to my page, do you even have a box to become a fan? I can't see my 'fan' box from my page. Where do you get the fan option?
Also, did you get my email? Do you have a short sale website yet or is that what you're creating?
Debe,
The become a fan is on the business page not the personal profile page. I'll take a look at your "page" in a bit and see what you have.
Regarding short sale site, that's what I'm working on at the moment. I thought I sent an email or voice mail back?
Christine - I am now a fan. By the way, I think they are opening this up at midnight Eastern time, so it should be in about 3 hours.
Jason--what are you guys talking about?! I think I'm in need of some fans here too!! LOL
Christine--I didn't get your email (perhaps it went to junk) but, I thought that may be what you were talking about. Any decision yet about who you're going to use?
I appreciate you checking the Facebook thing out for me!
Hi Christine ~ Is this so? Even tonight when the clock strikes whatever time? I find this all so confusing to tell you the truth. I spend very little time on Facebook so have never mastered the ins and outs. I'm trying to create a page but I'm banging my head against the wall - I *think* I've created it but beats the daylights out of me how to even find it. I did become a fan of both of yours. Good luck with it all.

I had this open on my screen while I talked to a client. Now I can read the new comments that came in. Like Debe I don't see the box to become a fan on my business page - one of the reasons I was banging my head against the wall. Plus I think facebook is very busy tonight - I keep getting error messages.
Most important - what's the link to reserve the fan page name at midnight - does anybody know?
Liz
Liz and Debe,
Make sure that you have published your fan pages. This can be an issue, and one that I've had.
Also, the link for tonight is www.facebook.com/username.
Info on who can qualify - http://www.facebook.com/help.php?page=900
Kathleen - Thank you so much. I'm working on making them a bit more exciting.
Jason - You're right. At some point, I converted midnight EST to 9:00 pm PST and then reconverted it again to 3 hours earlier. And, still not enough fans on my page. Oh well, maybe in a day or two.
Liz - I think I found your Facebook profile page, though I'm not certain as there's no picture. As I told Debe above, you can't fan a profile page. Check out my Facebook post about all of this.
OK. I fanned you. Now could you please fan me? :-) http://www.facebook.com/advertising/#/pages/Los-Angeles-CA/Bob-Taylor-Properties-Inc/7694836362
Christine- I have become a fan of both pages, do you mind repaying the favor to a fellow Christine? http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/pages/Knoxville-TN/Knoxville-Real-Estate/120167975258
