Facebook: "Like" UFO

Hi all,

Yesterday I went on a "Like" frenzy on Facebook, and I noticed that the
most popular page for UFO in the "TV Show" category has a rather dull
photo of the word "UFO" with a black background:

  http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/UFO/113253672018405

So I thought it would be nice to create a better page that has a better
photo.

So I created a new page, cut & paste some text from my UFO FAQ,
added a photo of Lt. Ellis, linked to my UFO Series Home Page...
instant UFO page!

  http://www.facebook.com/pages/UFO/169314393116137

Now, what would be the best photo to use?  Lt. Ellis?  Straker?  Whatever
it is, it'd need to look good as a tiny 100x100 pixel photo, and also
as a 180 x 540 (maximum) page photo.

I wasn't planning on making this a discussion group or anything -- just
something that people could "Like", that would show up in their list of
favorite TV shows.  And something that looks more interesting than
the white text on a black background.

Hi Marc,
 
I think that photo is perfect!
 
The purple wigs were so UFO-centric and I've never seen them anywhere else just like that, so that this will be absolutely recognizable in whatever size. And Ellis is lovely ;-)
 
Cheers

By a mile, I think Gabrielle in that purple Moonbase wig is the coolest, most singularly iconic UFO image anyone could possibly use. (And that's a GREAT photo along those lines.) Yay!

True, there were some things that I wanted to "Like" that had no page.
Of course, it's pretty easy to create your own page...

strker seems the most popular but i would put a red suited green face there.

Hey, Marc? When you made that UFO facebook page, how did you get it listed as a TV show? I've tried creating a page for an author and a film, but can't make them show up as such - they are just 'community pages' ...

As for photo suggestions, well, you know I'm partial to Foster in the sauna <grrrrwwwwwlllll>, but that purple wig is pretty iconic, so you should probably stick with that.

It was one of the first things in the page creation process, I think,
to classify the page as *something*, in this case, a TV Show.

Marc

Oh, thanks! I went back and edited mine - it is all different than when
I first created those pages. Does it cost anything to advertise your page?

I [LIKE] your page and unliked the other UFO page - your image is
infinitely nicer than the other and you have lots better info. Lets see
how long it takes to surpass that other page's numbers ...

Probably... I wasn't planning on advertising it on Facebook...

Yes, that's why I put it together -- the other page isn't very good!
Although it does have 8,000 "Likes", so it may be awhile before
mine gets close to that!
