We had great success with our branded app for Virgin Mobile France. The folks at BuddyMedia are pulling some interesting clients who build a new engagement tool for their brand followers. The average 26 minutes/day spent by facebook users are testament to it becoming part of the daily routine and therefore advertising and brand engagement will follow.

The reason there's no money is that we're only just starting to make the tools. We haven't really built the "serving suggestions." LinkedIn is making money. They can stand to make even more. They need only realize a few things about their mission and they could be rolling in it. Facebook? Oh, I have my theories, most of them dark. Velvet ropes and nichemining. Velvet ropes, baby.

My guess is that they will launch an individual CPM rate for users and start paying out to the users. How sticky do you think their site will be when you start getting paid to use it more frequently? If you have a better solution I'd always be happy to listen (and possibly participate) :) Best, Nick Hey Noah,
