It's a lame attempt by a few people who are trying to make a buck by convincing people to use their network of friends to hawk commercial services.
In the 1980's it was called "Amway", and I told real friends who called me with an Amway sales pitch to 'lose my number'. Some wise up and stopped, some didn't.
Now, when a 'friend' used their facebook status (or any other method) to push an ad into my face I 'de-friend' them. Some get the 'clue', some don't.
This is social networking, and the backlash.
