Re: Facebook Friends For Sale: This Time It’s Not a Game

I think just like in the real world you cannot buy friends and family and more importantly when you use social media for business then in that case you cannot buy customers. The basic idea is that you need to slowly build your presence via these social media sites and deliver value to your potential customers. If you resort to buying friends, followers, connections, contacts then they will just be there in your contact list and will not prove to be of any value. The key is not to have thousands of followers because it is going to be virtually impossible to manage one on one relation with each and everyone and at the same time you cannot deliver value to thousands of people at the same time.

I maybe wrong but to my mind companies like uSocial are opportunists and want to make quick bucks from people who are at the start of the learning curve in social media. According to me these auto generated contacts will prove to be absolutely useless.
