FakerBreaker presents a useful way to vet all those invites you get on networks. It´s also provides a means to find out a little more about people, most of whom are total strangers, anyways.

This seems to take more time than it´s worth; yes there are fakers, but that´s part of the fun of the web too isn´t it? It´s the whole second life concept; people build personalities that are perhaps a little exaggerated, but it´s an exercise in imagination; there are communities dedicated to Dungeons and Dragons after all, these people aren´t really knights, or dragons, are they?
