What’s to Come…
Autofill: Facebook Plans for Partnership with PayPal and Braintree for in-app purchases using credit card information stored in their Facebook account. The process avoids the need to type in numbers and data on a tiny smartphone or device screen.
Facebook will know which e-commerce companies its members buy from, what they buy, and how much they spend. This would give Facebook tremendous leverage when selling mobile advertising since it can tell potential advertisers how much its members are willing to spend on their products
