I still hope they get the legal and lobby aspects of fb:credits to work.
Using my facebook account (think iphone + facebook app + nfc) to do my daily payments would be a by far more qualitative businessmodel than ads.
Sure currently they are currently closer to sell ads than to implement an digital currency.
But ads is an misaligned business model. Facebook is about people engaging with their world. Liking an artist, checking in a store, listening to the album - next: buying the (collectors edition) album.
Yes i know apple is closer to becoming our digital currency (as they already do it since years). But having currency provider and gate to the internet (iphone) connected seems wrong. Currency and identity feels in a weird way more correct to me.
