FDVT: Social Network Data Valuation Tool

--FDVT--
Would you like to know the money you are generating for Facebook™?


The FDVT extensions provides Facebook™ end users with an estimation of the economic value they are generating while browsing in the Facebook™ site. Different users will generate different economic value depending on their demographic parameters, their interests, the time they spend in Facebook™, etc. In order to use the FDVT the user has to undergo a registration process where he/she has to provide the following information: Location (compulsory), Gender (optional), Age (optional), Birthday (optional) and Civil Status (optional). This information allows the FDVT creating a unique profile associated to the user. Therefore, each user will receive a personalised estimation of the money he/she is generating for Facebook™. The Facebook™ identity of the user will be completely anonymous. This means that we neither collect nor store any data item that allows identifying the Facebook™ identity of the end-user.

The FDVT shows the following information:

- Session ads: The total number of ads displayed in the current session.
