On the otherhand it is a fantastic social study tool, personal development, psychology etc etc. So much can be done and tested right there. I think somewhere it also gives an interesting snapshot of our society values. It is funny to recognize the trend according to the different regions of the world. The difference between men and women and how they drive that virtual market. How pride can be such a powerful tool. Something very surprising, even shoking is that we can find only very few photos of black people.<br><br>Anyway I think there is quiet a lot to learn about this silly games as we are really silly people if we can't pass the first degree of anything.<br><br>Enjoy the game all... We just might learn something about who we are really. Well Tony and George, I may agree that as a game FFS may be useless as you say only if taken to the 1st degree.

Anyway I think there is quiet a lot to learn about this silly games as we are really silly people if we can't pass the first degree of anything.

Enjoy the game all… We just might learn something about who we are really.

You join Friends For Sale and receive a starter war chest of several thousand dollars of the company’s virtual currency, as well as a valuation of how much you’re worth. Then you see a list of all your Facebook friends who have added the application, along with their selling price, and you can start buying them up. Price is determined like in any market, by bidders — so if you’re competing against others to buy a particular friend, you’ll have to keep raising your bid in order to maintain ownership.
