I bet I'm not the only one who would say that Facebook has proven so helpful (and yeah, entertaining) to my life in general, I'd gladly pay a small monthly fee. It just doesn't make sense that something I use so often (and which has real value to me) has no economic model, whereas I pay big bucks for magazine subscriptions/books/movies that I use for about one-zillionth of the time I do FB. Or am I wrong? What's your definition of "value"? What do you mean, Alex?
