There’s been a lot of discussion lately about Facebook and its suitability for young people in particular.

Another unresolved issue is Facebook’s performance as a responsible publisher. Is it acceptable that the only mechanism to challenge a defamatory post or comment is to report it?

No, there should be site-wide moderation, like Wikipedia.

One wonders what it’s like for people with low self-esteem to join Facebook and see their friend count struggle to pass single figures.

They say you can’t buy your friends, though a new service from an Internet-based social media marketing company is about to prove that old adage incorrect.

uSocial.net — the company that 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”.

“Facebook is an extremely effective marketing tool as anyone with a large number of targeted friends or fans can attest to,” company chief executive Leon Hill said.

“The only problem is that it can be extremely difficult to achieve such a following, which is where we come in.”

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.
