Imaginary Friends

Seen on Craigslist:

Build me 10 Social Media Personas

I need 10 social media personas with the following.

1. each persona needs to have a gmail account
2. each persona needs to have a facebook account with pictures and locked down privacy settings so that only profile pic shows
3. each persona needs to have a google plus account
4. each persona needs to have a twitter account
5. each persona needs to have a Y-e-l-p account (THIS IS KEY). The account must be linked to their facebook.

You must 'INVENT' each person and make them a realistic personality.

...They probably want these accounts to do a sociology research project, huh?

All the scamming, spamming, bullying, BS, and so on is taking "social" media on a one way trip to the gutter.

Where it belongs, IMO.

LOL, imaginary friends, now that's a good one.

We already know that the bots have infected much of social media, and that's why there are so many sceptics.

I'm thinking "antisocial imaginary friends" might fit situation better.

Oh wait.....

... we are talking about "social MEdia" right? :)

The interesting part is the Yelp account. It means that all that effort is to generate fake reviews about a business.
