Facebook has launched a new "Gifts" (Gifts or English) who can buy and send real gifts to your friends...
This is not the first time the social network launched this feature for the less original because Facebook has closed its gift shop in August 2010 in order to focus its efforts on projects such as photos, RSS feeds, messages, games, comments, the "Like" or the wall.
At that time, the function was probably not popular enough to be part of the most important and urgent. Today the situation has changed and the social network is clearly lessee of a new source of income.
By visiting the profile of a (e) friend (e) and instead of posting a message or a photo on his wall, a button "Gift" will soon make its appearance. Express the same icon should also appear in the list of birthdays or important events (such as marriage).
You just have to choose a gift and pay now or later. People who receive gifts will be notified by phone, email or on their Facebook page and may even discover their gift before it arrives in their mailbox.
Finally, the person must accept and provide their mailing address to receive the famous gift. Facebook should offer many gifts, t-shirts to posters, through cookies.
This feature is being rolled out to users of the social network in the United States.
