What is the most-liked quick service food or beverage outlet on Facebook?
A: Starbucks
Starbucks has nearly 30 million Facebook likes, well ahead of #2 McDonald’s (18 million). Subway, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut round out the top five.
At least he does according to this New York Times blog from Nick Bilton:
“Without me, and the other 844,999,999 people poking, liking and sharing on the site, Facebook would look like a scene from the postapocalyptic movie “The Day After Tomorrow”: bleak, desolate and really quite sad. (Or MySpace, if that is easier to imagine.) Facebook surely would never be valued at anything close to $100 billion, which it very well could be in its coming initial public offering.”
“So all this leaves me with a question: Where’s my cut? I helped build this thing, too. Facebook laid the foundation of the house and put in the plumbing, but we put up the walls, picked out the furniture, painted and hung photos, and invited everyone over for dinner parties.”
I’m in. What do you think? Do we all deserve a cut of the billions Zuckerberg is going to rake in?

ArLynn Leiber Presser, an author from Winnetka, Illinois is on a yearlong quest to meet each of her 330 Facebook friends. Presser says, “I initially joined Facebook to keep tabs on my sons. Since then I’ve made more than 300 connections, and I realized that I don’t know many of them or, in some cases, how I wound up connected to them. That’s one of the things I’m going to explore with this project.”
