Facebook Is Bigger Than Amazon, by Market Cap. Apparently pokes and Likes beat ecommerce and drones. Facebook is now more valuable than Amazon, at least by market value. Facebook's market cap topped $170 billion this week, while Amazon's market cap has dipped below $165 billion, according to data provided to Mashable by FactSet Research. The social network's stock hit a new high this week, following a strong December quarter earnings report, in which it handily beat revenue estimates and revealed that mobile ad revenue now accounts for the majority of total ad revenue.
Amazon stock slumped after reporting earnings for the fourth quarter that were far below Wall Street estimates. Facebook went public in May, 2012 with a market cap of around $100 billion, but the stock quickly fell to less than half its IPO price, pushing the market cap below $50 billion. The stock rebounded in 2013 as Facebook proved its ability to make the shift to mobile. Twitter Testing Major Profile Redesign That Looks a Lot Like Facebook.

The company declined to comment on this story. For a full look at the design, check out the gallery below. Review: Facebook Paper iPhone App. With Paper, Facebook Is About to Reimagine Itself for the Mobile Era. What’s the most striking thing about Facebook on the iPhone? That’s easy: it’s the fact that there’s nothing striking about it. The company’s iOS app is essentially similar to what you get in a desktop browser, with a few nips and tucks to reflect the fact that it’s on a teensy screen.
But on Monday, iPhone users will be able to try a version of Facebook that’s been utterly reimagined for the smartphone. It’s called Paper, and as you can see in the video above, it’s far splashier than any other incarnation of Facebook so far, with an emphasis on info from news sources (including TIME) and storytelling from your friends, a lot of animation, big images and an interface designed to let you navigate around with your thumb. I haven’t seen Paper in person yet, but the Verge’s Dieter Bohn has, and he’s extremely enthusiastic about it.
Two other thoughts as I bide my time until Monday: 1) Paper is debuting exclusively on the iPhone. Millions of Teens Flee Facebook. Now What?
