Facebook Just Paid For My College

by Sam on November 3, 2007

Found this little nugget embedded within a VentureBeat article relating to the Facebook Application KissMe:

“[KissMe has] almost become a self-sustaining Facebook app business, already. It has 36,916 daily active users (an impressive 38 percent of the total users), and is running Facebook ads. A rule of thumb is that an app with at least 50,000 daily active users will make enough on advertising to pay for the developers’ room, board and servers.â€�

I wonder why they are using Facebook ads to monetize, rather than socialmedia.com which pays on installs?

What is really cool here though, is the fact that students built this application as part of a class being offered at Stanford University.

    Rumors have been circulating for a while now regarding nike air max 1 a 2010 release of the Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago,” but we have not seen any sort of nike air max 2010 confirmation nike air max 95 in the form of catalog images or words from Jordan Brand representatives. But today, we are extremely proud to present a SneakerFiles exclusive confirmation nike air max 90 that nike air max nl the Air Jordan X (10) will drop this month as a quickstrike release. Not just any Air Jordan 10, but rather the Chicago colorway with 45—the number Michael Jordan wore when he came back from retirement—on the ankle. This colorway of the AJ 10 is one of the most popular styles ever created, and will surely result in lines outside stores for days and may even cause riots. The Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago 45″ will release at only 150 sneaker stores across the United States with each retailer only receiving 23 pairs. Be sure to check out the additional photos and information after the jump!
