Perhaps lost amongst the chatter about today’s announcement of the Facebook/Bing partnership was another Facebook announcement that will give a huge boost to online payments firm PlaySpan. The company will provide payment options for Facebook’s expanding online gaming platform, which is a big deal considering that the potential payments volume for PlaySpan through the world’s largest social network is enormous.

Other investors include Easton Capital, Menlo Ventures, STIC and Novel TMT Ventures.
