Now that BillMonk is also integrated with Facebook using these APIs, it will be interesting to see how the two services compete and grow. What's most interesting is that having contacts is necessary for these kinds of social money systems; if you pay for the restaurant bill and later expect to split it with your Facebook friends, they'll be annoyed if they're not notified. Since MoochSpot demos the Facebook APIs, they have to live with this limitation.

I find the on-site app to be frustrating at times. Also, how about a Relationship Status Update Alerter? Seems to be what most people like to keep tabs on anyway. And, I like the blog.

But even if someone beats you to it, build your app. Who knows what'll happen. This could be immensely useful as a generic login system for any site targetting college kids.
