Well isn’t that just spiffy – get paid to make new friends

Being able to sift out the spammers, never-ending supply of social media gurus, and just plain irritating “let me show you how to get x number of followers’ is hard enough but now we have a new player in the field who will pay people to try and be your friend.

Yes folks with the help of a new entry in the social media field called Spiffbox you to can earn real money being an irritating shit. Playing off of our desire to make money with the least amount of effort Spiffbox will give you points for every action you take on their network. Points for simply creating a profile, bombarding other members with meaningless messages, and (optionally of course) taking part in surveys or accept merchant offers.

The more you interact the more points you earn and the moment you cross the magical threshold of 2,000 point you can redeem it for a check worth $20.00. Apparently earning all that cash isn’t hard since accepting a chat request earns you 28 points, accepting a friend request nets you 10 points. So in no time you could be earning yourself hoards of cash should you be willing to prostitute yourself because in my opinion this is exactly what you are doing. Not to mention making a mockery of social media in general.

A big thanks to Sarah Perez at ReadWriteWeb for the warning on this ridiculousness and if a service ever needed a rating this is mine for Spiffbox
