A new Facebook app launched this week that lets you send small sums of money to friends – the London-based company allows payments to be sent in US dollars or Euros.
Beyond sharing links, photos, videos and status updates, is the exchange of real money a logical next step for Facebook users?
What about Facebook Credits, and the popularity of buying virtual goods within games like FarmVille — do those indicate Facebook’s potential to become a leading online payments provider?
That’s the topic of my CNN column this week.

You cannot get games like consoles online, unless you have some means of downloading them illegaly. You can however play flash games online, with sites such as armorgames.com, miniclip.com, and addictinggames.com.
