During the f8 conference held in San Francisco, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO, explained the intention of the social network to impose a virtual currency across the network, as payment for all services of the largest social network in the world . His name is Facebook Credits.

This virtual currency, which is still in beta, would have its own exchange rate and would swing real against other currencies. Thus, Facebook wants the user does not have to enter your card details each time you make a payment.

Facebook has 400 million users and over 500,000 applications, some pay, on which stand virtual games, which generated $ 500 million, the second largest trader of Paypal, Ebay behind, of course.

According to Zuckerberg, took longer to make efficient service and have invested heavily in the project, but certainly with 400 million potential users, many more companies joined the bandwagon of trade by Facebook. Furthermore I wonder what it would be strange to buy a movie ticket or a play, using the motto "official" network?

Tumblr has begun to suggest to their users to use themes of payment from your blogs administration area.

Tumblr is a microblogging platform free most known and used, not to mention the most known and used worldwide, after Twitter. Its ease of use and ease of customization have become famous among fans of quick, short post.

Until now, when acceding to the administration area to customize our Tumblr blog on the tab called "Theme" we suggest the latest free templates uploaded for users to be shared.

But what was my surprise today, when access to the same section, I found that, before displaying the latest list of free templates updated, Tumblr showed me the list and screenshot of the last 13 payment templates.

Among the prices of these templates are for all budgets, ranging from $ 9, about 7 € to 49 $ that would become the change about 37 € but I say that if you register on a free service is for microbloggin pay nothing, if not you'd have a blog with hosting and domain fee, right?

That is as it seems, Tumblr expects to earn money to finance their microblogging platform, though this is the second option since a few days ago and announced they were going to launch payment service for premium users.
