I try to buy a few myspace accounts now and then. I see some for sale that say built with friendstorm.

Correct me if I am wrong. Friendstorm accounts are built using other friendstorm users. Right? If that is the case then they are probably building accounts for similar purposes as us for monetization. If this is true, the value of the friends is very low compared to a hand built or even a bot built list.

Anyone have thoughts or am I totally wrong on this?

So since nobody is replying, an account built with friendstorm is just as good as an account built with a bot like badder adder?

Come on, someone must have some thoughts?

I'd say it's the equivelent of a train-whore built account. Half of the friends on it are probably spammers. So, i'd value it at 50% or less of a legit account with the same number of friends.

Not much

That's what I was thinking also. This is important when purchasing accounts. The current rate is about $8/thousand. However, if it is built with a train, I think it should be closer to $4/thousand at best.

It seems we think alike here.

Thanks for commenting.
