We need more fans for the x404 facebook pages so we can get a short url on it.

If you're not a fan/like this then please click http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=900# ... 1248130166 and like the page

I wasn't a fan! (8+0
How remiss of me, but that's now rectified.

How many fans do we need?

Put a call out on your official twitter account?
Then those of us on there can RT it if we wish. Might get some new blood at the same time.

25, or so it seems.

I think we only need two more for the custom URL feature, 25 is the threshold I think.

Damn it. Beaten to it by the penguin.

Nice idea

May I also suggest that the articles that get published in the Article Discussion forum get linked to over on the Fb page? That way, we can start liking links directly there which may also translate in to new visitors over here.
This'll likely need doing manually.

Although I'm no fan of FB, liking or being a fan of a page usually implies some interaction.

Aye.
At the moment it's like one of those place holding webpages.
There's simply no content on the page to become a fan, that's why I pushed these forums in my RT on Twitter.
Fan Pages need content for interaction, even if that content just points back to these forums.
I'll gladly volunteer services for updating the page on Fb with article links that get posted here, but that'll mean someone giving me admin access to the page.

Cheers Mark. I can make you an admin of that page fairly easily.

I reckon I can auto-publish articles there as well (like on Twitter) but If I can't I'll let you know.

Shall we start a "we need more articles" thread

I was thinking less about posting the whole article there and more along the lines of a slug with a link back here, but sure, give it a whirl and see where it takes you. (8+)
