Introducing Sponsored Stories. Facebook Credits: Virtual Goods Are Just the Beginning: Tech News and Analysis « Facebook is ready to go big with its Facebook Credits virtual currency: the company announced that all developers will have to use the credits in their apps starting July 1. The move takes Facebook Credits out of beta and will make it the main payment system for all apps, with Facebook getting a 30 percent cut of the action.
But the transition to Facebook Credits is not just about Facebook getting a cut of Farmville virtual transactions. This is about Facebook ultimately starting its own online payment system that could be used to buy a lot of different goods and stretch beyond the boundaries of the social network. Facebook Credits was first launched in beta last year and though it forced developers to hand over a big chunk of their revenue, Facebook sold them on the system by emphasizing its ease of use and how well it monetizes with users. Facebook, however, has the opportunity to drive a lot of payments through its Credits, not just virtual currencies. Top_fb_apps. Présentation Des Pages Facebook De 18 Marques Françaises. A l’origine, cet article devait s’appeler « Les meilleures pages Facebook de marques françaises ».
Cependant j’ai échoué à le réaliser dans la mesure où je trouve que les pages facebook de marques françaises sont moins bien réussies que leurs homologues américaines, surtout au niveau de l’engagement des fans. Force est de constater que l’on trouve encore des grandes marques françaises avec des pages comportant des problèmes techniques ou esthétiques. J’ai donc dû faire des compromis. D’une part en éliminant ces marques. D’autre part, en sélectionnant uniquement les pages qui proposaient une « landing page ». Après une première sélection, j’ai classé les pages en fonction du nombre de fans et non pas en fonction de la page Facebook la plus réussie.

Facebook is Now the Second Largest Video Site in the U.S. While Google's YouTube remains the most popular video sharing site in the U.S., Facebook is now the second most popular place to watch videos online. According to the latest data from comScore, Facebook just took the #2 spot from Yahoo and continues to grow rapidly. While Facebook.com served 166 million viewing sessions in July, this number was up to 243 million in August. In contrast to Google's video properties, though, where the average user spent close to 270 minutes in August, Facebook's users are far less engaged and only watched 21 minutes. Traffic to YouTube continues to grow - though at a relatively slow pace - it's worth noting that the time the average user spent on the site last month was actually down slightly (282.7 in July vs. 269.5 in August).
The newest entry in comScore's top 10 last month was the Break Media Network, which is home to sits like Break.com, Screen Junkies and Holy Taco. In total, Break Media reached 42 million viewers last month. AlloCiné. Facebook Places: A Field Guide.
