New SMO Way

You open your profile and see a stranger who has added you as a friend. "Surely another wannabe-thousandth" - you think; but skepticism is replaced by interest when you notice that most of his few friends are your friends.

A stranger writes exclusively under the lock and with transparent hints in the text of the posts makes it clear that he is somehow connected with the circle of your friends.

What does he write? For example, excerpts from some literary creations, without specifying the author, which makes you believe that this is his, the author’s text.

You are intrigued, follow the development of events, and after some time the cards are revealed. Pretty unassuming way:

For those who are interested in the author. The author of this work is *** (you can include it in friends here - ***).

With a postscript:

To the question of why only you can read, I will answer - I liked you.

Actually, how it works - you create dozens of virtuals, friend dozens of each of them in the same circle of acquaintances - and lock up some intriguing content.

Locking is very important, as this creates an impression of exclusivity, and a link to such a post cannot be sent by ICQ, as only you and your friends can read it - which means you cannot convict the author of a post in “virtuality” (since each such virtual lives in an isolated realm of a circle of friends).

Over the past 2 months, I have already seen three such virtuals in my friend. I won’t call appearances and passwords, as well as blogs of those whom these virtuals have been promoting :)

So, LJ user - beware of such UFOs in your friend! They compost your brain!
