This articles misses opportunities to dive deeply into every concept it proposes. Even when discussing the use of Facebook credits, you really miss an opportunity to discuss Facebook credits as a competitor to PayPal, and a scenario where Facebook does for our online spending what they propose to do for email with their Messaging system. It's a shame that you put this article together so quickly without adding any depth.
For example, Facebook could use the same logic they used in their live Messaging launch for our online spending - that by combining our social graph with how we spend money online, we can better learn from, and organize our spending. They could easily compete with services like Mint and Blippy by providing interesting data about what we are purchasing, and what our friends are purchasing. The opportunity to combine this with Facebook Places makes this a likely scenario - a lot more likely than the childish idea of forcing Credits for all FB connect sites simply to enforce a monopoly.
