not sure if such a thing is legal… since you are ‘creating’ a currency without having an actual country or state.

but it would be neat to see exchange rates and trading markets.

i wonder when there will be a virtual currency exchange market for social gold, facebook credits, spare change, playspan, zong, etc…….

i would like to tap into this market as a trader, just wondering if it violates SEC rules and would catch the attention of wall street.

dont follow, what security issues are there? all i see is a way for children to have gaming account balances to spend as they please—like at an online arcade with tokens to spend on any game.

In terms of security it’s one big hole, wide open to everybody who would be willing to start stealing money.

the best thing about spare change is that its so much easier to use than the other ones…

especially for teens (who probably end up spending more time on fb than others) its really convenient since there is no restriction to having a spare change account. right now i think it is the only one that also allows free exchange of credits among users as well.

i’m glad to see they launched this, especially to see more of the major apps start using it.

Before the powerhouses fb and myspace realize the real potential and rewards of micro payment they have to get the traction.

Micropayments are clearly gaining momentum, but let’s remember that Spare Change isn’t the only option available for monetizing Facebook applications.

OneTouch Online Purchasing is creating a full service alternative payment system for Facebook. Find out more from here: http://www.onet...om/facebook.php

The one who finds a nice/cool way of presenting/introducing the products/a market to the social media / networking sites will find a gold mine. I haven’t noticed these guys yet though….

This is a great idea. I think it would be much easier to spread this around if you connect to more markets, and not just focusing on the big names. You can find other great apps here: http://AppUseful.com
