Imaginary Friends

If I was running Facebook I would start creating imaginary friends for users.

It wouldn’t be that hard with all that data and some simple algorithms.

And we all have overseas friends that we never see, so what would be the difference?

This would solve three problems; one, social status online; two, higher levels of engagement; three, these imaginary friends could make recommendations for products and services.

We all know recommendations are the very best way to push stuff.

Ultimately you could imagine that the collective of imaginary friends would represent God.

Maybe that’s what happened before last apocalypse!
