As a next step, I would expect to see transactional metrics. E.g. if a service is accepting revenue, directly or indirectly (e.g. PayPal), I think that will be reported next. Then, in a year or so from now, Facebook will take its commission on all revenue-generating applications. I'd look to Amazon Marketplace as a logical next approach. Will be very interesting to watch, for sure! I think this was a logical next step — Facebook has the data — now, it’s sharing it with the app owners.
