Just how much value do you represent to these companies? Backupify, a cloud data backup service, decided to do some quick math. The infographic below gives you a glimpse. Dividing the estimated valuation of the company by the number of users tells you, roughly, how much value each user contributes to the company’s value.

  • Path: $12.50 per user
  • Instagram: $18.52
  • Yelp: $21.21
  • Pinterest: $28.09
  • Foursquare: $40.00
  • Twitter: $71.43
  • Dropbox: $80.00
  • LinkedIn: $104.46
  • Facebook: $118.34

But it’s the value of each individual status update that’s especially interesting. To get this number, Backupify took each company’s estimated annual revenue and divided it by the number of items of content. Here are the results:

  • Tweet: $0.001
  • Facebook share: $0.024
  • LinkedIn search: $0.124
  • FourSquare check-in: $0.40
  • Path update: $0.50
  • Yelp review: $9.13
