Facebook Reports Surging Profits
PlayFacebook reported on Wednesday that its profit more than doubled and revenue topped estimates for the ninth straight quarter.

Derek Thompson of The Atlantic joins Here & Now's Meghna Chakrabarti to discuss what this could mean for the future, both of the company and of mobile marketing in general.
