Headline : Twitter starts e-commerce push with 'buy' button.

Excerpt from the ~ Link "

Micro-blogging service Twitter will soon start testing a "buy" button as it seeks to generate more cash from users.

The button will sit inside a tweet and allow people to click to buy an item directly from that message."

My Thoughts :

Innevitable I suppose and I wonder if other Social Media sites will follow !

Too risky in my opinion... It may be ok for the upcoming generation to use....but I am quite protective of the safety of my bank details as it is...without adding another way to store that important information..on such a vast social media site

Just ask yourself a simple question...would you trust your bank details to a social media site?

If the answer is yes, I'll send the men in white coats round...

Indeed.... Unfortunately some 'less experienced/savvy' people nowadays would go for it.
