What is a good idea for a Facebook page?

[Joseph Mac]

So I want to create a Facebook "like" page and I need ideas. So give me an idea on something you personally would like and think others would like. Thanks!

All pages include a Wall tab --- similar to the Wall on your personal profile --- and an Info tab that includes basic information about your page. In addition to the two default tabs, you can install more page tabs using Facebook applications. Using an application, you can create a tab to display YouTube videos, Twitter tweets, photos, events, an online store. To search for relevant applications, click the "Edit Page" button in the upper-right corner of your page, click the "Apps" link on the left sidebar and then click the "Browse More Applications" link at the bottom of the "Added Apps" page. You can search for applications by category or name.

Create Welcome Tab
Applications that create a Welcome tab for your page are among the most popular. By default, people view your Wall when they first visit your Facebook page. To provide these visitors more information about your page and encourage them to like it, you can direct them to a Welcome tab instead. Free applications that enable you to create a Welcome tab include "Static HTML for Pages by Involver" and "PageLever Welcome Tab." To direct page visitors to your Welcome tab when they visit your page, click the "Edit Page" button in the upper-right corner of your page, select the tab you want to display from the "Default Landing Tab" drop-down list and click the "Save Changes" button.

Update Page Frequently
If you want to attract and retain fans, you need to add content to your page on a regular basis. On your page Wall, you can post text-based status updates, photos, videos, links to external Web pages, videos and questions. Posting several times a week is usually sufficient. If you post infrequently, your fans might forget about you. If you post too often, they could unlike your page because they're receiving too many updates.

Engage With Fans
When you offer relevant, useful content on your Facebook page, your fans are more likely to comment on, like and share your posts with their friends. Even if your goal is to sell products, you should focus primarily on informational posts. Then, on occasion, you can inform your fans about your latest products, discount offers or an upcoming sale.
