Once you create a page on Facebook, you can then give it a Vanity URL. This means you can give it a name in its URl that matches the page name and purpose.. For example we have a Facebook page called Sociolatte and on FB our page URL is www.facebook.com/sociolatte. When you first create your page this is not the case. You get a URL that is a string of characters that follows www.facebook.com like this - www.facebook.com/pages/spiderman/123456789.

Which means you can change the name of your FB page once more....

Becoming a mayor in Foursquare is the simplest thing. You need to have visited a certain place the most number of times. In Foursquare terms this is known as a check-in. Therefore there is a simple formula to be applied,  mayorships are based on the most days with check-ins in the past 60 days. So if you check-in more than once on the same day it is still calculated as 1x. Therefore to become mayor you will need to have the most number of check-ins. So if there is someone who has checked in more days that you, they get the title of mayor. There is however a lot of freebies to help you on your way as many bars and cafes are now offering "Mayor Specials" like free coffees, discounts and other goodies.

The frame costs 20,000 coins and 20 wood, and once you place it on your property, you'll have to spend 10 energy and a total of 100 pieces of wood to whack it.   Once all of the whacking is done, then you'll have to start collecting materials to complete the building. You'll have to collect 35 items in all, a list which consists of the following: 5 Windows 5 Cement 5 Pegs 5 Mallets 5 Singles 10 Elbow Grease These materials can be acquired by requesting them from friends, and that is the only way you can get these materials right now -- you can't buy them in the store and they are also not available for everyone to send items as free gifts.
