something suspicious is going on. over the last few weeks, on an almost-daily basis, I've been receiving random Facebook friend requests. these requests are coming from people who seem to be on the other side of the world. even though I've ignored all the requests, I can't quite shake the notion that something about this sudden influx of friend requests is not right.
here's my suspicion: with the rising, meteroic rise in popularity of Facebook (and Twitter, for that matter), I think there's an underground, shady business of Facebook "friend farming." could it be that there are people out there who are being paid to build up a huge friend base that will be ultimately "sold" somehow for commercial uses? (or something along those lines...)
why would Muhammad Noor Akbar Shabir send me a friend request??? who are you? who's your daddy? and what does he do?!?!
I'm just saying...something ain't right here.
