via BusinessInsider. A very unusual startup company, Cloud Girlfriend, promises to bring customers the “perfect girlfriend” on Facebook. Once you sign up, the “perfect girlfriend” will then send you public messages on your Facebook wall, so you can deceive your friends into thinking you’re in a relationship.
According to Cloud Girlfriend co-founder David Fuhriman, “Cloud Girlfriend will consist of a network of real human beings, not automated bots, that users will interact with over Facebook. Fuhriman said the site has a therapeutic value and can fulfill psychological needs like intimacy and friendship even though the interaction is virtual. He also maintains that these interactions can even build self confidence and help users navigate real-life situations.”
