New Internet Startup Offers a "Real" Virtual Penpal

Lafayette, IN, August 08, 2007 --(PR.com)-- An Internet startup is offering a new type of online social experience. On MyTrueBestFriend.com people can now create their own online alter ego to be an email pen pal. Users create a profile of their ideal best friend with as much detail as they wish and shortly afterwards they will receive a real message from their friend. On the other end is a team of writers assuming the identities of the users’ friends that actually write the correspondence. Each identity is assigned to a specific writer to ensure continuity. Over time a meaningful relationship will develop between a user and his or her virtual friend.

MyTrueBestFriend.com charges no fees to register for the service or to remain a subscriber. However, it does provide the ability for members to send “gifts” to their friends. Friends that are well gifted will probably write frequently and with a great deal of enthusiasm, friends that are neglected will be a little less enthusiastic about writing. MyTrueBestFriend.com’s C.E.O. Jacob Hilt said, “This site is going to set a new paradigm in social relationships over the Internet. The idea of pen pals has been with us for a long time, but to my knowledge, nobody has ever done anything like this before.” Mr. Hilt is willing to accept any interviews from the media.
