Read more…The legendary U.S. travel journalist and entrepreneur Arthur Frommer passed away November 18 at the age of 95. Born in Virginia and with an early boyhood in a small town in Missouri, Arthur was a lawyer who became a pioneering and great travel journalist, and who will be remembered as having helped open the joys of travel to the masses. While serving in the U.S. Army in Europe in the 1950s, he got the travel bug, came out with a travel guide for servicemen, and followed up in 1957 with…

"Convent" doesn't necessarily mean a community of women religious; it could be men.
To further confuse you, I'm about to go tour a convent. Hey, they give me an itinerary and I do it.
A valid question, although what really intrigues me is your comment about the missing hangover. How do you do that?
Okay, why would I like something on facebook? Two completely different reasons: (1) because I genuinely like the product, i.e. Tripatini and Buckettripper, and/or (2) I like the person who asked me to like the product, so I do this as a favor to him/her. Neither of these may move you to click over to FB right this minute and like a couple dozen pages, but for what it's worth, those are my motivations. That, and the fact that when you've "liked" your 100th fb page, Mark Z. mails you an Aston Martin.
Morning Ed,
I am surprisingly - and somewhat encouragingly - unhungover for someone who did two liquid back-to-back concerts last evening, then drank till 3:30 am. Conversation gets so much more passionate the later the hour. Now I'm rattling along on a private train and my fingers are sliding across the keys so pardon for the spelling errors. But I still don't understand liking something on FB. What is the purpose?
One more thing to Bescover: When you still need more likes, it often helps to hold a contest or a giveaway of some sort, as in "the _ _ nth person to like our page wins _ _ _ . Scary how well that works.
Bescover, one way people amass likes is to flat-out ask everyone on their contact list to like them on FB. Allan, you use the word "likes" in quotes below, and God knows, FB does abuse the language. First "friends," then "likes," then "unlike." I happen to love much of what Facebook does, but it is hard to forgive the language abuse.
I don't understand the purpose of Facebook 'likes'. But perhaps it's because I'm one of those people whose FB friends are actually people I know. I know what they do and don't like.
If FB 'likes' are to somehow influence me, they don't. They make a company look and sound needy. If anything I would avoid a place that other urge me to 'like'.
Hey folks,
Bescoverer from http://Bescover.com here with a question. When you use Facebook with a business page, what is the most effective way to gather "Likes."
