I wonder if there's potential for this to be a content-creator-payment platform? That is, make tipping a publication as easy as hitting a "Like" on any given story...you could even have it as an extra button (I think making it a default pop-up with every "Like" would be detrimental to the user experience, to the point that users would just stop hitting "Like" for stories they actually liked)...it wouldn't make much money for FB, perhaps, but it would create further adoption of the platform.

Edit: Not only might it increase adoption for the payments system, but it may further entice content creators to join FB's nascent content-platform ambitions: http://digiday.com/platforms/facebook-youtube-premium/
