Palo Alto, Calif. -- Facebook, the Palo Alto-based online social network with more than 250 million members, is seeking testers for its upcoming virtual currency platform, CNET News.com reported. The company has long been rumored to be developing a virtual currency that could be used as barter among its users, as well as by developers of Facebook applications. "Our 250 million users can now buy Facebook Credits in 15 currencies and we believe that, as Facebook Credits become more broadly available on Platform, they will meaningfully improve developer monetization and provide a great experience for users," the company wrote in a blog post.
