Market Lodge figures that your friends are more likely to buy something if you recommend it, so their willing to give you a 10% commission on the sale. Facebook tried to use its Beacon program to promote sharing shopping tastes among friends but ran into trouble when member found out that their habits were being tracked. Nobody likes being spied on and everybody likes making money, especially when there is no work involved. Sounds like Market Lodge may have hit upon a good idea.

Facebook members who decide to use Market Lodge can customize their own stores, selecting from more than 1,200 products sold by about 50 different merchants. Once the personal store is set up, Facebook users can then invite others in their network to check out the stuff they're recommending. Market Lodge users can make purchases from their own stores and still qualify for the 10 percent sales commission. All the inventory, order processing and delivery arrangements are handled by the merchants — just as they would be for any other sale. "We think this could be very lucrative for Facebook's members," said bSocial co-founder Sue Spielman. (news.yahoo)
