The graffiti artist who took Facebook stock instead of cash for painting the walls of the social network’s first headquarters made a smart bet. The shares owned by the artist, David Choe, are expected to be worth upward of $200 million when Facebook stock trades publicly later this year.

Facebook has become the largest platform for display advertising on the Web in the United States; 28 percent of all display ads come to Facebook, followed by Yahoo, which gets less than half that share.

My Permissions
I found a really great site today that helps check what applications have access to your social network accounts. I was surprised at the amount of applications that had full access to my Google and Facebook accounts. At MyPermissions.org I was able to quickly access all of the different permission pages that are usually buried very deep. No registration necessary, just start clicking the icons to view the associated permission page. Everything took about 2 minutes as the site claims.
I’m always really cautious about letting applications have control over any of my accounts and thought this wasn’t an issue. I removed tons of applications only leaving 1 in some cases. Do yourself a favor and check this out!
