Now Facebook is forced to play catch-up after earlier deciding not to create a sophisticated mobile app for the site. Rather, executives wanted people to access the site using their mobile device’s Web browser.
The results show that you are worth about $81 to Facebook. Your friendships are worth $0.62 each, and your profile page could be valued at $1,800.

The stories aren’t as mindless or Farmville-centric as you’d expect! Great list.
