Go FB!
As it ramps up for its initial public stock offering, there’s been a lot of attention focused on Facebook’s lack of performance as an advertising platform, despite its enormous size and reach. It’s an important issue for investors thinking about areas of future growth for the giant social network, as they try to justify what is likely to be a market value of at least $100 billion. But Facebook has other ways of monetizing its vast user base that could have even more growth potential — although they also come with more risk. One of those is Facebook Credits as a payment method for both virtual goods and real-world goods. Could Facebook become a networked version of PayPal?
Anyone who has played Facebook-based games such as Cityville or Texas Hold ‘Em Poker is likely familiar with Credits, since they are the default method of payment for Facebook games and…

Here are some Facebook FAILS that are too funny not to share. Even if you are not a Facebooker, you have to admit, some of these are pretty good. A few are due to not catching the phone’s spell-check before posting, but most are because the person posting is simply not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Their elevator doesn’t go to the top floor. The light’s on but no one’s home. A few screws short of a hardware store. About as sharp as a marble. Alright, that’s enough. Here they are….

Awesome stuff!
Planning a trip to Wales anytime soon? If so, put the town of Monmouth on your itinerary and be sure to bring your phone. On May 19, Monmouth officially becomes the world’s first Wikipedia Town and you’ll need your handset with you to understand why. The Next Web explains that Monmouth has spent the last six months wiring up the entire city with free Wi-Fi while also mounting up to 1,000 plaques on notable places, artifacts and fauna in town, each with a scannable QR code that opens up a relevant Wikipedia page in one of several languages.
The town-wide availability of Wi-Fi fits in well with Wikipedia because it makes the content and knowledge freely accessible; people won’t have to supply their own mobile broadband and free QR code reader apps are a dime a dozen for most handsets. Not every interesting object in Monmouth will have a large plaque, simply because some…

For several years I’ve used Foodspotting and Yelp together in concert on my iPhone(s AAPL): If I see a particular dish I want to eat based on a Foodspotting post, I’ll jump over to the Yelp (s YELP) app to find important restaurant details, like when it’s open, where it’s located and more importantly, the reviews. It’s not ideal, but it has worked. However, thanks to an update to Foodspotting’s mobile app scheduled Thursday morning, I won’t need to hop between the two apps anymore.
Each restaurant listed in Foodspotting, which has a little over 3 million downloads to date, will now have a dashboard, or profile page, instead of just a stream of food photos taken there. A bunch of new, practical information about the restaurant will be found on that page.
For example, Foodspotting is using Yelp’s own API to list Yelp’s starred review rating right on the…
