Facebook introducing “want” button

Facebook has recently decided to test out a new function that would allow users to share and even buy items off of the website.  The function, a simple “want” button on Facebook advertisement, would allow advertisers a chance to tap into the endless depths of Facebook’s billion+ users (or at least a portion of them).

I’ve been waiting for a move like this for a long time, Facebook has been overvalued for far too long, spiking up to a valuation of around $104 billion before its IPO.  Facebook has so much influence that to scare away investors with ludicrous claims like that is doing nobody any good.  What Facebook needs to do is embrace this new idea and implement it in a way that makes people want to click want on things they really want, there needs to be an incentive to click otherwise it will go disregarded like advertisements now, but not one that makes people want to click everything.  Maybe you would get a limited amount of wants a day and by wanting something you accumulate points towards rewards.  The amount of points could also be based on how many others want it, which would encourage you to tell your friends.  Just a little idea, but a good step in the right direction.
