  Oh the irony Tom!
  
  Going through Facebook to calculate your social value. A site that drains society of any value, allowing millions of people to look at strangers' holiday snaps and shallow status updates that give off the illusion of being interesting.
  
  I'm sure Arup would use something a little more sophisticated?!
  
  That being said, I am slightly sceptical of such a calculation. Although I fully agree with the notion of social capital, I am not so sure it is easily defined in hard cash - just by it's very nature. The old 'price of everything, value of nothing' thing.
  
  I would like to know more.
  
  On a lighter note, such a calculation would be very useful when making decisions about certain events such as weddings. I'm often torn, but at least if I could place a value on such things, I would be able to take a more objective approach.
