Have you ever wondered what you’re worth on Facebook? While this may not be a question you have asked yourself recently (but for the record, maybe you should), it is a topic that Fast Company’s Adam Penenberg found fascinating enough to write a book about. In Viral Loop: From Facebook to Twitter, How Today's Smartest Businesses Grow Themselves, Penenberg tells the stories behind many of the iconic companies of our time – including Netscape, eBay, PayPal, Skype, Facebook, and Twitter. According to Penenberg, these companies all have something in common – they have harnessed the power of viral loops to grow at incredible speed and achieve billion-dollar valuations in record time.
To demonstrate the power of viral loops – Penenberg has created apps that both Facebook and iPhone users can utilize to determine their worth. The concept is simple – the more active you (and your friends) are, the more you are worth to them. So, what are you waiting for – you know you want to know. Check out Viral Loop
here to see how much you’re worth.
