Fun with social networking: Ticketmaster has more Facebook friends than you do

Chris Carrara thought it was interesting that Ticketmaster set up a Facebook site and almost overnight gained more than 150,000 "fans." So he started looking at page after page of Ticketmaster "fan" pages and discovered most had no "friends" at all. Given that the whole point of Facebook is to connect to people you know, he found that odd and began to wonder if maybe, just maybe, Ticketmaster was just making up "friends" to show how popular it is:

There's no telling just how many of these there are, but either Ticketmaster has a lot of very lonely fans, or they're exactly as evil as we already thought they were.
