Mark Zuckerberg to Ocean City? Mayor says come visit in Facebook video

Closing in on 1 million Facebook likes on its tourism page, Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan went on camera Thursday to invite Facebook's founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg to the beach town.

"If you accept, I promise there will be plenty of saltwater taffy, Thrasher's French Fries, caramel popcorn and crab cakes in your future," Meehan said in the video. 

Meehan was thanking Zuckerberg for his creation of the social network and explained how the town has used it to grow.

The town's tourism page posts daily updates on things to do as well as scenes from the sand and boards along the shoreline.

Ocean City also uses a page for its government, often posting updates, official statements and weather warnings to its 37,000 followers.

So Mark, why not?
