Facebook is certainly worth 10 billion dollar according to this analysis on Vinny Lingham’s blog, especially when its large and organized user base is integrated with the contextual advertising platform of one of the top 3 search engines.

However, it can also be a great networking tool for businesses and individuals in terms of boosting their web presence. Below are some of the few applications that you may want to install. It will be really handy, if you already have a Linkedin profile.

Profiles Application

Finding your friends and ex-colleagues on Facebook may be time-consuming. When you search them via the built-in search function, often it returns hundreds of search results of the same name and you will have to go through quite a long list or many pages.

This application gives you the ability to create a meaningful profile URL on Facebook. For example my profile URL becomes http://profile.to/gordonchoi/ which is simple and easy to remember.
