Through Digg, I came across this so called ‘Facebook Quest’, called “Who’s this Girl‘. Here’s a short summary:

“Please help us find this girl. We found her camera a week ago on a ski piste in Alpe D’Huez. We tried to locate her hotel, based on some pictures of this girl and her friends, and put a note on there, but didn’t got a reaction on it.

Therefore, we’ve posted some pictures of the camera on this Facebook group. Every person in the world is connected trough maximum 7 people, so with the aid of Facebook, we should be able to track her down. And of course, we’ll ship her camera back to wherever she may live. Based on her looks, whe guess she’s from Scandinavia somewhere?

So please forward this message/group to your friends (invite them to join the group), and if you know her, post it in the comments or get in touch by emailing to whosthisgirl.tips@gmail.com !”

Clearly, a lot of people think this is a hoax, but I don’t see why this can’t be real. The guys who posted this on Facebook do have a website, but it’s too small to do this as a viral for a big company. It’s also Dutch, so they don’t need a lot of international visitors. So I guess we can better help them by giving their Who’s this Girl? Facebook group a littlebit of attention. It would be really great (also for Facebook) if they really find the girl using the power of Facebook.

Let me share some of the most interesting Facebook related articles I’ve read this week:

• Following your money in Facebook
  Did you know there are a lot of Facebook applications that enable you to keep track of your money, inside Facebook? They’re obviously less popular then the “Vampire” game, but a lot more usefull!
• College.com Wants to Be Facebook 1.0

Where I’ve Been, a Facebook application that shows your friends which countries you’ve visited (and the ones you’re planning to visit), is reportedly sold to Tripadvisor (a travel review site) for 3 million dollar.
Where I’ve been is one of the most used Facebook applications, with 2.3 users. This would give the sale a 1,30 dollar/user valuation - making it by far the biggest deal for a Facebook application this far.

I just read the breaking news on Mashable that Facebook released a special version of Facebook for the iPhone. If you own an iPhone, head directly to http://iphone.facebook.com/ and check it out. All the essential features -overview, profile, friends and message inbox- are compressed to fit on the smaller screen. Looks awesome to me!
