Buy And Sell Your Friends On Facebook
I have recently added the “Friends For Sale” application on Facebook and I’m lovin’ it. At first I noticed a lot of bugs. According to the developers this was due to an overload on their servers. Now the application seems to be working smoothly.
“Friends For Sale” allows you to buy and sell your friends. Once you’ve bought someone he becomes your pet and you can make him send gifts, poke, dropkick or karate-chop your other friends. You can also give your pet a nickname, for example, Michael Arrington was purchased and nicknamed “Crunched”. Currently Mike is the most expensive pet on my friends list. You can buy him for a meager sum of $45,605.
Once you add the application, you are valued at $100. Every time someone buys you, your value increases. You start off with $2000 in the bank and can use this money to start buying. You earn $250 every 4 hours for logging in. You also earn a profit every time somebody buys a friend away from you or when somebody buys you. You make $150 for every friend you invite. If you get tired of a certain pet, you can also refund him.
Once you start using the app, you will see that there are gruesome wars going on over friends that people try to steal away from you. A feature I would add is allowing you to decide on the price you want to pay for someone so as to strategically disable others (who don’t have that amount of cash) from stealing your pet. Some extra things I would add:
1) Show attributes of pet on his page so as to let you know exactly what kind of pet you are getting
2) Allow people to request to be bought by specific friends
Yes it’s silly. Yes it’s ridiculous. Yet it’s still entertaining as hell. So go get some of your own pets and be warned: Do not touch any of mine!
