On Thursday, Facebook shared two additional ways that developers can leverage Facebook credits and make some additional (real) money: shared deals and frictionless purchases.
What does that mean for consumers? For those games on the Facebook platform that allow you to buy a discounted item, that developer may allow you to share the discount with others, passing it along.
Facebook executives tipped their deals plans in January..
The second option, frictionless purchases, will apparently allow consumers to make micropurchases of virtual goods virtually instantly, and within the transaction itself. The transaction takes place within the application itself, within its context, not within the Facebook environment itself - the "friction" that the term refers to. Currently, only transactions worth less than 30 credits can be performed using this method.
