Facebook Currency Arrives

Posted by Nick O'Neill on June 18th, 2007 8:30 AM

MyBucks This is potentially huge. Aryeh Goldsmith, who keeps pumping out applications, has just built a new application which helps you manage your Facebook currency, or “Facebucks.” Currently, the only way to earn additional Facebucks is through inviting other friends to use the application. There is the potential for a currency exchange market similar to Second Life’s. While Second Life’s currency is used to purchase virtual items, I could see Facebook’s Facebucks (say that 3-times fast) being used to purchase real-world items. While this is in its infancy, there is a huge potential for a real Facebook marketplace (different then their existing marketplace which is classified ads), Facebook auctions, etc. If a small group of people started using Facebucks as actual currency, widespread adoption would be plausible. At the current time this is bordering on fantasy world but hey, it’s possible. If you want to be part of the Facebook financial revolution go grab the My Bucks application.

Very interesting- however, if FB wants they can eliminate it for TOS violations (name Facebuck is a TOS violation).

Another very promising looking new facebook currency is zuckerbucks, named after mark zuckerberg. Zuckerbucks are earned online and used to bid on real items, which if won, require only shipping payments when the product arrives. It's free to join through Facebook, Check it out!

Zuckerbucks(named for mark Zuckerberg, Facebook Creator),
are a digital dollar that you earn to bid on online auctiosn for real items. If you win the item(s), they are mailed to you, and you pay the shipping on the item when it arrives. It's another free one that can get you free stuff, check it out!

I agree with Virtus. Zuckerbucks is another promising Facebook Currency similar to Facebucks. The major difference is that Zuckerbucks gives away REAL items. And correct me if I'm wrong, I think they even pay for the shipping last time I checked.
