Facebook Starts Selling Virtual Items February 8, 2007
Posted by David Kaye in : Social Networking , trackback
Facebook has just started testing the sale of virtual items. Dating site HotOrNot has allowed its users to buy virtual flowers for each other for a while now, and the now-defunct social network FunHi was probably the pioneer in this area, but this is the first time a successful major league social network has introduced such a scheme. Users can send their first for free, and pay $1 each after that.
I’m noticing a lot of negative comments in the TechCrunch thread from people who are convinced this is a stupid idea that won’t catch on. My prediction: they are going to make a lot of money. People have proven time and time again that they are perfectly willing to pay for things that show other people they care about each other. Facebook’s bling-starved environment has always been a little more sedate than the HTML-soaked MySpace, which is going to make this even more welcome to its users.
