Sorry Kids, Here?s Why I Don?t Have 5000 Free #FacebookCredits For You

Screen Shot 2011-11-19 at 12.25.53 PMHi children of the world, I actually don?t have 5000 Facebook Credits to give to each of you. I?m sorry about that, I wish I did. But before you get upset, let me explain. A few years ago, back when I was at VentureBeat, I wrote a post about an early version of Credits that Facebook had been testing out. It wasn't the virtual currency payment system that you use in FarmVille today, it was an experimental social reputation currency. You could do things like give people Credits for status update that you thought were smart or useful. Accumulating lots of Credits indicated you had a good reputation with your Facebook friends.at you thought were smart or useful. Accumulating lots of Credits indicated you had a good reputation with your Facebook friends. Fast forward to this past August. My long-forgotten Facebook author page started getting dozens of Wall posts from Facebook users -- mostly children -- from around the world. Every one of them was pleading with me to provide the 5000 free Facebook Credits that they claimed I'd promised them. Annoyed, I turned off Wall posts. They resorted to commenting on my profile picture.
