With a bit of mathematical finagling and a touch of guess work, it can be reasonably assumed that Facebook was able to double both income and net income in that time. :D lol Facebook 'profits double' in first half of 2011 | News | TechRadar UK

Well, this news is not surprising at all, to me. More & more people joining Facebook, hence, increasing their profit. But this also means that the famous and hyped google+ project is a fail despite their invitation policy. :lol:
