Facebook should roll out their own payments service, it will be a great way for them to monetize their app ecosystem.

Please also note that, according to facebook, they will be launching their 'verified apps' program – that is, they will start labeling well-behaving applications. add to that Facebook Connect apps that are now even on the iphone, and it looks like it's gonna be an intense year for facebook.

Any game no matter how good it is, lose their initial momentum after sometime. The challenge is not to come up with a game with definite ending rather using the same viral nature of social networks to keep it open.

Points of interest: their platform for providing virtual goods, linking producers, publishers and consumers, the VixML iPhone platform (very cool) and the recent $5 million in a round of funding from North Bridge Venture Partners.

Here's what I wrote: <br><br>"More generally, virtual goods have already proven themselves elsewhere, especially in web-based virtual worlds like Second Life, Habbo and Gaia, and on Asian social networks.

Definitely. Here's what I wrote:
