Tila Tequila, Friendliest MySpace User, and Her Single
Tila Tequila has more friends than anyone else on the planet.
With 1.7 million MySpace friends, and 1.9 million comments, she's now trying to leverage her buddy network to sell her single, "I Love U." Ironically, the song is all about how she's a "b#tch" that will "..f#ck you up.." if you don't please her. Not very friendly.
In the NY Times article, her manager states:
"This is really new territory, we’re about to find out what the connection is between social networking and music sales."
That's sort of interesting, but the real lesson here is that, of course, sex sells. Tila is an x-Playboy model, and she's been friendly enough to share many (clothed) pictures of herself on her site.
Hm. Should I post a pic of myself in one of those European boxer-brief-thong thingies..?

I seriously thought this song was a joke when I first heard it. I really, really WISH it was a joke.

I KNOW. It's really pretty poor.
Funny, though. If only 1% of her "friends" buy her single, she'll make $17,000. Not too shabby, I guess, especially if she can follow it up with a few decent singles. Crazy, no?

Ouch, that's overkill. The real question is, why did you decide to add her as a friend? :)
