Facebooks pathetic attempt to make money in a recession will fail. Just like Ebay has failed and so many before it. Trying to make money off others while not actually putting in any physical effort never achieves the desired result !

ithink,while these credits will attract people to facebook, Iwonder about the lifespan, given that facebook is yet to turn a profit

I study complementary currencies since nov/2003 and I'm happy to see some companies starting “to print” your own money. While some few people, beneficiaries of a glut of money, believing that wealth is money, others are creating money, maybe, by believing that is possible to create money to share out the real wealth of our communities that are our talent in form of products and services.

I wonder how far we are from Facebook charging for use (commenting, liking, posting) through a credit-based system. It'll probably never happen since it would cut out much of the social growth, but I wonder if a micropayment-based charge-for-activity niche network (perhaps one tying together buyers and sellers and not just “friends”) is that far away…

I know personally I'm not going to buy credits just to give them away.

i like that they are experimenting. but not a fan of the walled garden approach. be better if they integrated their own version of paypal.

it also somewhat reminds me of a project i started in 2006 called fundavlog and started a blog at crowdfunding.com to log development of the idea. i had implemented a paypal powered credit system and added a feature right along with comments and ratings (on each videoblog post) that let users add as many pennies/credits as they could. one-click allowed for incrementing pennies or dollar amounts. the recipient of funds could cash out all or some of their money or leave it in the 'bank' so they can reciprocate by giving to others.

no fees were taken as the way i implemented paypal avoided any transaction costs. so instead, i was going to rely on the community donating funds to the project itself to help pay for hosting or just tip for development time etc.

it was a project in social capitalism and self-sustaining community of video creators via the concept of what i called crowdfunding.

real job/life prevented continued development , however.

I'd be very hesitant about using something like this.

My overall problem is — what happens if the recipient doesn't spend the credits? Is this like the “gift card” or “travelers checks” or “rebates” process where companies make as much (or more) money on the un-redeemed items as they do on the actual product.

I for one would not use this unless there was a bigger benefit to spending it — for example you actually gifted some type of item or extended feature and not just “credits”.

Why are you using the company's jargon about credits instead of plain speaking to your readers?

it would be better if we could also take credits from each other for uninteresting posts...
