TECH CRUNCH -- Apr 25 -- A little Facebook application called "Friends
For Sale" has grown into a full blown venture backed startup ironically
named "Serious Business", which just raised $4m from Lightspeed Venture
Partners and currently draws over 600,000 daily active users on
Facebook. "Friends for Sale" lets users virtually buy and sell friends.
Serious Business is not without competition. Zynga and SGN are well
funded social gaming startups. However, Serious Business has a much
larger hit than either, so far. "Friends for Sale" has also already
been cloned as "Owned", which draws about the same level of traffic
some days. FULL ARTICLE @ TECH CRUNCH
