In a previous comment, someone mentioned a Whore Train. ‘A what???’ I thought… So, I did the Google & Wiki search to bring you the latest…
There are many alternatives - Whore Train, Friend Train, WhoreMe, The Train etc - you can see a whole list here. You simply type in your Friend ID and everyone on the list is expected to add you, and you add them in return. It’s like a pyramid sell or chain letter.
However, I’ve been warned off them by a company who specialise in community sites. They allege that you get in to a world of spam, that most of the profiles are fake, and as MySpace delete them you end up with less friends than when you started.
Please tell us of your experiences.
