You Really Can Buy Friends On the Internet

jendudley writes "A new service is letting you buy swathes of friends on Twitter. $87 buys you 1000 followers, $147 will buy you 2500 followers, $229.60 will buy you 5000 followers, $372.75 will get you 10,000 followers and, should you wish to go for the motherlode, $1491 will buy you 100,000 Twitter followers. Usually, these followers arrive in just 2-4 days. So wrong."
