Turning cyberlosers into social-networking magnets! 

Comments:0   Add your comment

The phenomenal growth of MySpace is not only enriching “The Wizened of Oz,” (Rupert Murdoch) it’s also causing a problem for most of the acne encrusted teen users of this leader in the social networking craze currently engulfing the teenagers of the world, giving them yet another excuse not to do their homework, wash the dishes, or take out the dust bins – Unlike American trash cans, does that mean you can only put dust in a an English dust bin? 

Anyway, one of the things that’s a big deal on MySpace is listing and having pictures of all your friends on your home page. Problem is, if you’re some kind of loser, you don’t have many friends, so you come off looking like… A loser! Well now, your problems are over with the launch of FakeYourSpace.com a business founded by Brant Walker, which offered users of MySpace.com and similar sites a way to enhance their page with photographs and comments from hired “friends” — mainly attractive models — for 99 cents a month each.

Loved his overview of his business when interviewed by the New York Times… His idea, he said, was “to turn cyberlosers into social-networking magnets” by providing fictitious postings from attractive people. The postings are written by the client or by Mr. Walker and his employees, who base the messages on the client’s requests.

The guy is obviously destined to become a millionaire, then sell out to “The Wizened of Oz” who will have pictures of all his two friends… George Bush and Tony Blair, with all kinds of flattering comments from his employees… The ones who want to continue as employees, that is!
