The latest Facebook feature-to-be isn't a fun and novel way to share more content with your friends -- it's a way to sell them stuff instead!
Mark Zuckerberg has announced that it's introducing a new feature for Facebook Groups, which will help people create a customized listing for an item. The function has price, location and description fields, and most usefully, has a way to designate items as sold.
Facebook is actually a good (and incredibly lazy) way to sell stuff -- there's no apps to install, fees to pay, and you're normally selling to someone nearby so there's no postage hassle or mail-order scams involved. So from that perspective, it's probably a good thing that Facebook is making the process more formal. On the other hand, it's already annoying and spammy as-is.
