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.

Collect Money, Group Payments, Collect Dues, Fundraising, Tickets 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 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). [img credit: gtmcknight]
