How to Create A Facebook Page. No Facebook Page is truly professional until it has a decent vanity URL. What’s a vanity URL? It’s a short, easy-to-remember URL (like “facebook.com/mypagename”), unlike the default Page URL that looks something like “facebook.com/pages/My-Page-Name/0123456789″. Getting Permission Granted for Vanity URLs In order to unlock your ability to name a Facebook Page, you’ll need a minimum of 25 fans. Once you’ve gotten this many, visit facebook.com/username, and you should see an interface that lists a drop-down of all of your owned Facebook Pages. Select only the ones that have 25 or more fans, and you’ll be able to name them. A Huge Warning!
If you happen to take that one “do-over” and change your Page URL, be aware that your old choice will be gone forever. Other Notable Things About Facebook Vanity URLs Facebook has blocked the ability to register many possible Page Names, so, don’t be shocked if you can’t register something like “facebook.com/diamonds” or “facebook.com/cars.” Near Field Communication: 6 Ways It Could Change Our Daily Lives. Sarah Kessler is a freelance writer and a regular contributor to Inc. Magazine. In the realm of new technologies, near field communication (NFC) is not a new or sexy concept, but it does have clear potential and practical uses.
This is why it’s been holding the attention of a slew of big-name companies for a long time. Nokia, Sony, and Royal Philips Electronics founded the NFC Forum in 2004 in order to promote the short-range wireless connectivity technology.

Here are six ways that NFC could have the most impact. 1. The “digital wallet” concept could extend to coupons and other offers. 2. 3. 4. Facebook Adding Location Features This Month [REPORT] Information has leaked that Facebook is set to roll out location-based features for users and brands as soon as this month.
According to Advertising Age, users could see location options any day now. These features include the ability to check in at various locations, including retail spots and restaurants. We're unclear as to whether users will be able to add or customize their own locations, but we are fairly positive that this move will put Foursquare, Brightkite, Gowalla and other location-based services in an uncomfortable position. Meaning for Users The ability to check in to different locations is, as we've reported previously, a game-changing feature for Facebook. If this feature does indeed roll out soon to end users, it also brings with it another round of privacy concerns.
Meaning for Brands McDonald's will be the first brand to test the new features. It's interesting to note that this move further puts Facebook into competition with Google for local advertising dollars. All Facebook - The Unofficial Facebook Blog - Facebook News, Fac.
