Just imagine you sell or buy with just a click on facebook using bitcoins, This is an opportunity bitcoin should grab, and facebook should not miss!

Facebook is testing a way for advertisers to make the direct sales pitch to people, and it could be a game-changer for advertisers and retailers. Through the Buy button, users can complete a transaction while staying in Facebook.

a premium service that costs more than the basic ad service.  More FB revenue.

Another money grab?

Yeesh, they don't need more sales. Just go buy the product.

Or Facebook is now getting clingy and wants to keep their users inside Facebook as much as possible...

Of course they do.  Every Website in existence is trying to get you to not click out

Why would they incorporate bitcoin? I believe they'd rather develop some other proprietary payment system or cooperate with regular payment providers.

Because Bitcoin network requires only code development and implementation.  No 3rd parties.  A proprietary payment system requires hardware, human resources, dealing with YOUR bank, and more.

Facebook and Twitter both have major problems due to most new growth is in poor 3rd world nations.

So btc is perfect for both, since most of the world is blocked from western banking such as legit visa/mc/amex accounts and western bank accounts.

Twitter may adopt btc before FB adopts it, you will have resistance to btc by FB due to the Twins alleged control of 1% of btc coins.

Exactly.  I believe that Bitcoin is a perfect fit for Bitcoin, and FB is the missing piece to the Bitcoin moon rocket:  Mass END USER adoption the world over.

Facebook policy has always been make the world facebook!

how many sites have you been that allow you to login with your FB account?  How many have you bought from that allow you to use Paypal?  FB and Bitcoin will allow you to do both.  And FB will get a cut without having to deal with your bank.
