Facebook To Be 'Biggest Bank' By 2015

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the farmville-for-real-bucks dept.

angry tapir writes "The explosion of social networking commerce will lead to the unlikely candidate of Facebook becoming the world's biggest bank by the middle of the decade, according to a technology observer and entrepreneur. People who don't have a Facebook account should get one or risk having a financial profile created for them says founder and president of Metal International, Ken Rutkowski."

    Let's back WAY up.

    Facebook as a BANK?!

    How wrong is THAT?

    "FaceBook. The bank that Likes you."

    I think that to say "Facebook will be the worlds largest bank" is about as accurate as saying "Farmville will be the world's largest agricultural business".
