I'm not saying the idea's not a good one (I'm not saying it's not a bad one either, follow?), or that something like this wasn't destined to arise. Pimping your friends (also called "frimping" apparently) is perhaps the next big online marketing craze.

Ads-Click equates MicroSocialAds (still in beta), its new social media advertising platform, with AdBrite or AdSense. Just slap the app onto your Facebook page and when your friends click on the targeted, contextual ads, you get 80% of the click-through cut.

Sound golden? Well, it might, except that it may seriously annoy your friends – but maybe not; most likely they'd learn to ignore them like the rest – and adding the ads to your Facebook page is a violation of Facebook's terms of service.

Nobody's allowed to pimp your friends on Facebook except for Facebook. Luckily (or unluckily, depending on your point of view), Eric Schonfeld at TechCrunch says MicroSocialAds will also be available for Twitter, MSN Messenger, Yahoo IM, Skype, and Open Social.

Or at least anywhere it's not immediately kyboshed.
