The Facebook platform game FarmVille now supports the Facebook Credits virtual currency . The popular online game uses two units of in-game currency: Farm Cash and Farm Coins. Previously, you could buy them with a credit card or PayPal. Now the game offers Facebook Credits as an option. Facebook Credits are the number-one option, actually. They’re the default payment choice, featured at the top of the list pictured here. We recently learned that Facebook takes 30% of developers’ Facebook Credits revenue — the same percentage that Apple takes from its iPhone and iPod touch App Store sales. Analysts have speculated that Facebook might surpass $1 billion in revenue this year, and the social network’s virtual currency could be a vital part of growth beyond that. This new option in FarmVille is arguably bigger for Facebook Credits than it is for the game. FarmVille has more than 80 million users , making it bigger than Twitter . Exposure to an audience that large is an important milestone for the Facebook Credits project, which has been a slowly expanding experiment up until now.
