Marketplace is community-funded public service journalism. Give in any amount that works for you – what matters is that you give today.
This is from the O Internet What Hath Thou Wrought file. A new startup called Cloud Girlfriend wants to help people get girlfriends. How? It’s like the old wear a wedding ring and all the ladies will want you plan. Here’s how it works: “Step 1: Define your perfect girlfriend. Step 2: We bring her into existence. Step 3: Connect and interact with her publicly on your favorite social network Step 4: Enjoy a public long distance relationship with your perfect girl.” Although Christopher Mims points out this surely violates Facebook’s Terms of service.
