It's not like they're running Seti@home on your phone. Presumably you're on Facebook for your own value. The micro energy cost st the individual user will be a rounding error but for Facebook and it's infrastructure it could be a huge savings and should deliver better user experience. Seems smart to me.

    The behavioral evidence seems to agree with them, as well.
