LONELY THIS CHRISTMAS? YOUR FRIENDS CAN NOW BE BOUGHT

Despite the fact that the Internet has made connecting with people infinitely easier, there will still be millions of lonely souls around the globe this holiday season. But if you were one of the Christmas-forlorn, would you consider buying friends to ease the pain?

If this sounds funny, it may interest you to know that people online are already buying friends in their thousands.

Social media traders uSocial.net have been selling fans and friends on Facebook for some time now, and despite the fact the service is aimed at businesses who use social media in order to market their products and services to potential clients, they say it will definitely be used by others this holiday season.

“We intended our services for businesses though to our surprise it wasn’t just business who took advantage of them.” Said uSocial CEO Leon Hill. “We found that a fair percentage of clients were simply people who wanted to look that much more important in the world of social media.”

According to uSocial, the number of people buying friends aren’t small either.

“We took tens of thousands of dollars in sales the first two days our Facebook service was operational and we estimate that around ten to fifteen percent of all sales are non-business-related.”

“Not only that but we’ve noticed this number increasing slowly the closer we get to Christmas. It seems there are a lot of lonely folk out there willing to connect with people in any way possible.” Said Hill. “We expect the service will see even more people investing cash in friends this holiday season.”

uSocial’s services have thus far received a mixed response including much controversy such as the recent cease and desist notice the company received from Facebook.

Friends can be purchased in packages starting at 1,000 from the uSocial website at http://usocial.net/facebook_marketing.
