Its not spamming its “interacting” – and automating interactions sounds like a technological improvement you should be rewarded for.

Although, I suspect Facebook would put in effort trying to shut it down šŸ™

Jealousy is good for a relationship isn’t it … that or really bad, I get easily confused.

This is true

I would sell a spam-bot that will go through your friends list and send somewhat appropriate messages, like ‘Happy Birthday’ on their birthday, as well as automated responses to anything they post on your wall.

I will call it Everyones Bestest Friend, and I figure if you actually care about being #1, you would care enough to spend $20 to get there.Ā

I guess you could always get around that by having the rival rename themselves as “poison control” on Facebook! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Millennium_(Seinfeld).

That those who care a lot about being on top friend lists wind up being sequestered away on Facebook where they cannot damage the real world is a good thing.
