Shopping with Facebook

Facebook continues to expand its Facebook Gift Shop, this time entering the sporting arena, as officially licensed gifts from the National Basketball Association and Major League Soccer are now available, along with school-themed gifts from a number of major U.S. colleges.

The foray into sports follows Wednesday’s announcement that the social-networking site teamed up with online music service Lala to offer songs for purchasing.

The Facebook Gift Shop works on credits, which can be purchased online for 10 cents apiece, and which are also available for purchase in 15 currencies.
