Hey guys, do you find bachelorhood to be socially humiliating? Do you wish you could have a perfect virtual girlfriend who’d interact with you on Facebook and validate your fake relationship? Yeah, neither do I. BUT! In case you do, or you see the enormous potential this has for humor, here’s an interesting startup to keep your eye on.
Cloud Girlfriend is a startup internet company with, it seems, one service. They allow users to create a virtual girlfriend that will interact with them via social media such as Facebook. This service has yet to launch, but the website is taking emails to create an “invite list”.
There is concern, however, that the startup will only end up treading water. One major obstacle to building momentum for this company is the fact that Facebook strictly prohibits computer-controlled accounts…so I guess we’ll see if they manage to get around that or become successful without Facebook. Anyway, it’s an amusing idea for a business and apparently this type of idea has been successful in Japan. I think it has incredible potential here (but more as a source of amusement than anything).
