A simple program which creates Facebook accounts for
the
people you create in The Sims and posts Facebook
updates
when they do things, or rather, when you make them do
things - i.e. as if they were real people.
…
Eventually
the majority of people on
Facebook will be Sims-
generated
people, posting inane updates and making friends with
each
other, and people will leave Facebook in droves realising
it to
be a futile waste of time. Facebook will, like
FriendsReunited before it, wither and die, and Mark
Zuckerberg will be left penniless.
MuahahahaHAHAHAAA!!!
<hand-dryer starts up>.
Or the other way around

If only... it's a nice dream, though. |
|

It'll never happen. It's too integrated in our lives. |
|
| |
If that many people played Sims, what would
actually happen is that everyone would be
commenting on what each other's Sims were doing
like they do with The Farmvilles or a daytime soap
or their own mundane offspring. |

What you would need is to create a game where
the object is to set up a NPC social group that
attracts real people like a Turing test. |

I'm sure people are already doing this to replace
the people who pose as fun-loving busty blondes
with 4000+ male friends. Yeah sure I'll add you even
though we're strangers, you must have heard how
hilarious my satirical status updates are. |

In short, [+]. Kill it before it lays apps. |
|
| |
I'm not sure I would have done to well on the Turing test on some Friday nights in me cider-addled youth. |

Hmm, I think the post it a good idea, as probably they'd have something much more interesting to post on their FB than I ever do.. |

Whereas i have bunned this, it does sound quite a lot like the
likes of Farmville and therefore an additional irritation. I also
think FB is different according to what you do on it yourself and
the people with whom you interact. |

You mean they aren't sims already? |
