If you spend a lot of time on Facebook (not that I do!), you might want to think about getting compensated for it. A new application on Facebook called URTurn wants to compensate you for your time spent on social networks.

UrTurn is a new startup that created a virtual social currency to pay social network users points for using a social networks (currently Facebook and MySpace are the only ones supported).

Per their website “UrTurn is a first of its kind, rewards marketplace that offers points for just about everyclick YOU make on Facebook or MySpace (coming soon). Just add the urTurn application to your profile. The more clicks — the more urTurn points YOU earn toward PRIZES.”
