what is it? who are they?

could someone please explain to me what FanBox is? i keep getting FanBox fan requests from people i don't know and never heard of before.

is it like adding friends in second life or myspace, the goal apparently is to get as many as you can like some sort of deranged collector of stamps, paperclips or some other obsessive compulsive trait?

if these people (bar one) said they read the blog it would be a different matter, but it seems totally random marketing ploy to me.

maybe i need to launch a new internet service called 'groupies'... ;-)
