It’s time to fish out the paper hats, the party poppers and those little unfurling trumpety things as Social Climber celebrates its thirtieth edition.
And what better way to celebrate than with three stories about Facebook (the Social Climber equivalent of three potions of ice cream) to bloat the stomach of the party-goers?
This week Zucker-corp is berated for opting for taking a MySpace approach to selling ad space, congratulated for helping NBC to improve their Olympics coverage and, well, just mentioned in a story about what might be the world’s first useful Facebook app.
