L'émission TV Big Brother intègre les Crédits Facebook pour les votes. Delta Starts Selling Flights on Facebook. Delta Air Lines has launched The Delta Ticket Window, a Facebook application that lets members find, book and share flights via the "Book a Trip" tab on the airline's Facebook Page. Delta aims to reach travelers with Facebook-happy trigger fingers when it comes to travel booking. The application was built to keep the user on Delta's Facebook Page for the duration of the booking process, as well as give them the opportunity to share their booked flight with friends.
The company believes it can capitalize on a captive audience given that Facebook is the most trafficked website on its inflight Wi-Fi service. Delta's Ticket Window, powered by Alvenda, is the first to isolate the entire booking process inside Facebook. Delta Ticket Window is likely to get heavy traction from Facebook users curious about the application (it already appears to be having a bit of trouble managing the load).

Editor’s note: The following guest post is by David Marcus, founder and CEO of Zong, a mobile payment provider for Facebook Credits, AT&T and hundreds of leading destination websites and mobile applications There’s been much hype, crazy valuations, and overall market excitement about businesses that promise to unleash the power of the social graph, location, recommendations and group buying.
Facebook’s latest valuation according to SecondMarket is now about $30 billion, Foursquare raised $20 million at a post-money valuation of $115 million while still at a pre-revenue stage, Yelp, short of selling for $550 million to Google, raised over $25 million at an undisclosed but very high valuation, and finally Groupon raised $135 million at a whopping $1.35 billion valuation. So besides their huge success with the investment community, and their users, what do these companies have in common, and what does all this have to do with disrupting Local Commerce? Why Amazon Unit Quidsi Finally Set Up Shop on Facebook. Hailed as the next big thing last year, commerce over Facebook — or "F-Commerce," if you prefer — hasn't really caught on yet. But Josh Himwich believes that's because most people have it wrong.
Instead of F-Commerce, Himwich thinks it's more along the lines of "F-Errands. " Quidsi, a unit of Amazon, last week launched Facebook sites where consumers could buy items from Soap.com and Diapers.com. Himwich, the vice president of eCommerce Solutions at Quidsi, says he took a while to add that functionality because he didn't see any other merchants who had success selling via Facebook pages. "Many of the retailers who have currently tried it at least in private will talk about the lack of success they've had," says Himwich.
Although Himwich declines to name names, JCPenney, Procter & Gamble's Pampers, and retailers The Limited and Nine West, among others, have recently set up shop on Facebook. About 600,000 shoppers regularly visit Quidsi's sites. Amazon Opens Shops On Facebook. It’s about time that one of the earliest pioneers of online commerce opened up shops on Facebook. Today Amazon’s subsidiary Quidisi has opened up a few stores selling household items on the social network. Quidsi, which was acquired by Amazon for $540 million in the fall, has created electronic commerce pages on Facebook for Soap.com, BeautyBar.com and Diapers.com. These are companies owned by Quidsi, and their social network presence together amounts to about 60,000 fans. When you go to Soap.com’s Facebook page, you see a tab called “My List” where you can search for and purchase products all within the social network. What I found most helpful was the “My Lists” tab, which let me shop across all of Quidisi’s destinations (Diapers, Soap, and Beauty Bar), reorder, and customize my shopping list.
Quidisi somewhat resembles Storenvy in allowing you to shop from “stores” within a single tab. Payvment :: Social Network eCommerce.
