If you want people to shop on FB you have to integrate it with the apathetic zero-effort social climbing. That means luxury goods only.

Allow opt-ins that allow for ads like: so and so just bought an Omega watch and is therefore clearly better than you!

Efforts in this direction were sidetracked by the Sharper Image(??) vibrator fiasco a couple years back. Opt-ins are very very important.

Finally, the other option is to plug-in a Pinterest model into a FB app. Or better yet piggyback onto Pinterest, replace affiliate links again, and let the litigation fly! (I have a gut feeling that a dozen projects like this must already exist.)



"piggyback onto Pinterest, replace affiliate links again, and let the litigation fly! (I have a gut feeling that a dozen projects like this must already exist.)"

Can you clarify what you mean by this? Specifically 'replace affiliate links again'


Syndicate pinterest content to FB, and change pinterest affiliate tag to Facebook's. Basically out-pinterest pinterest.
