Do you think you guys will ever consider using (or at least installing) a Facebook application that lets your store digital cash and lets you send and receive money within Facebook? Something like this app (Coinjars)
Will you consider using a Facebook app that lets you send and receive money?

What? Definitely not, why would I need to send money inside Facebook. If I want to send money, I'll use PayPal.
You could click to send money IN facebook if it opened a new window for paypal payment. Still I think people would be nervous.
If a lot of "friends" had it installed it would make others feel more comfortable that it was "secure". And that, my friends, is somewhat of a conundrum.

There's a lot of stupids out there who'd say yes to this question.
Considering there are already some thing on Facebook that require the use of money on and within Facebook, like the gifts and paying for your PPC, I'd say that this might have some merit to it.
What are you thinking it could be used for though, other than cash gifts?
FB, from what I recall of it, doesn't like other people monetizing their system without them getting a slice.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts
It would definitely help if more and more people, especially your very own friends, would add the application. The tricky thing, though, is if your friends merely added the application but didn't use it.
But what if it's an application? Does that mean that FB should also sift through applications now and check whether or not they should get a piece of the action?
People said the same about search engines like Yahoo around the time that Google was founded.
I ask this knowing nothing about Facebook T&Cs for apps.
It wouldn't take too much work for me to write an app that simulated roulette. I would envisage each user starting out with, say, 1,000 credits and attempting to end up with a high score amongst their friends. Now, no money would change hands, and the random number generator wouldn't be great, being based on a pseudorandom number generator.
Now, do you think there'd be mileage in writing such an application, with a filthy great "PLAY LIVE ROUTELLE NOW!!!LOLLERSKAYTZ!!!" ad on the top of the app page?
Just a brief idea...

But this is using Facebook's own system, right? Or do you think this will include applications that allow the sending and receiving of money?
I'm not sure, but if they let applications send and receive money (while taking a cut of their own), there will be some big money making opportunities to those who act fast. It's all guessing at this point, but it seems like a logical next step if they can get around the banking regulations like PayPal has.
^ Thanks for your response, flyernati I agree that it's possibly the next step in this whole Facebook domination thing going on.
