When I sat to eat my lunch today at Westfield Strathpine, I noticed (how could I not) that the usually ad-free tabletops were now transformed into a mini billboard! What do you think? Clever? Or intrusive?
Once New Year Resolutions were once all about losing weight, getting healthier etc...but it seems 2011 is all about blogging!

This post will take you through how to set up a unique username on Facebook for your business (also known as a facebook URL or vanity URL). I'd highly recommend making sure you get in and reserve your business name now on Facebook through this method. It's free, relatively easy and will ensure your business name will not be available to others.
