uSocial.net — the company who recently began selling followers on Twitter — has just launched a new suite of services for Facebook, enabling people to purchase friends and fans depending on their needs.
But why would someone want to buy their friends on Facebook? Well according to company CEO Leon Hill, that’s a very easy question to answer.
“Facebook is an extremely effective marketing tool as anyone with a large number of targeted friends or fans can attest to.†Said Hill. “The only problem is that it can be extremely difficult to achieve such a following, which is where we come in.â€
uSocial say they are able to very accurately target friends to be added to a user’s account by interest group or industry and also geographic location, making marketing any product or service to them extremely easy.
Orders are being taken on the site now and more information on uSocial’s new service can be gathered by going to .
My take: if you can’t make friends, buying them is probably not a good idea either. Twitter has supposedly tried to shut them down. You can get lots Twitter and Facebook friends cheap from various eastern bloc hacker botnets if thats your sort of thing. Reminds me of Myspace Friend Trains.
