Would be awesome if advertisers can tap into this information. Show ads / discounts to people for products they actually want and haven't already purchased.

Facebook is not implementing this feature, but a third party developer via a facebook app.

It's through Facebook's Timeline-approved "Want" and "Own" action. :)

This sounds like its designed to compete with pininterest. I wonder if they'll build "walls" of "wants"?

This reminds me a bit of a 2010 post written by Scott Adams of Dilbert fame re: his visions of a "Facebook Killer": http://dilbert.com/blog/entry/facebook_killer/

Basically a place where you can specify your future wants/plans as opposed to something that simply logs your past (i.e. current day Facebook).

Seems logical, or they will use it like a wish list

It'd be a shame to see such a beautifully simple feature that is the iconic 'Like' watered down by a stab-in-the-dark revenue model.
