Viral Loop: The application

This week Facebook has crossed the 3 million user threshold. Making Facebook surpass the U.S. population in number!

All those users...and all that time...what is it worth?

This is the question Fast Company magazine writer, Adam Penenberg addresses in his upcoming book: Viral Loop: From Facebook to Twitter, How Today's Smartest Businesses Grow Themselves. (Read an excerpt here)

Peneberg also created an application for Facebook to model this question. The app gives you your dollar worth according to your level activity, the activity level of your friends, your influence plus Facebook's current overall worth.

Get the application for your Facebook and see how much you're worth. Is our time and energy spent on Facebook really worth a monetary value? Is it significant enough to be considered in our finances?

The tried cliché of it's not what you know but who you know is true more than not. Our networks definitely do possess extraordinary worth. What would we have without them?

While this application may or may not be an accurate depiction of that value, it's definitely entertaining.
