Facebook Question

People keep sticking these things on my wall:
"Kelly answered the question, is Dan funny..."
Or some such nonsense.
I of course delete them with the quickness.

My question is, what are these?
If I try to click through to find out I get a page asking me to share info, so I close out.

Also who are these people who post this stuff?
Why did I agree to be their friends?
If these people are my friends, what should I call the people who I share my life with who I used to call friends, but now that word has a new meaning?

    For what possible purpose?
    Why do people get out of the game?

    The game was created to propogate by way of the involuntary 'OMG... look what your best friend said about you and your mom' baiting-type-poasts on various walls of people in your friend list.

    What 'the game' gets out of it, is access to your information when you take the bait and install it.

    I'm pretty sure thats the purpose.

    I'm not sure why they want it though... at first I thought it might lead to some kind of made-for-adsense page to try and rake in ad click money.

    The "Questions" app lures you with "5 people said you were a good kisser - click here for the details" or somesuch, so you click, and then the app wants permission to your info. Once you grant this, it asks you 5 or so random Y/N questions about your friends before you can see it. Like, "Does Susie Q look good naked YES / NO / PASS". Of course, Susie Q will see this so be careful - You have to answer 5, excluding passes, before it fails to reveal the names of whoever said you were a good kisser / shit lover or whatevs.

    In short:
    BAN
