At social networking site FunHi.Com, fans have gone out of control -- spending actual cash on virtual gifts for thousands of stars. In under a month model and recording artist Nikoma Lee, one of thousands of media savvy personalities on the site, has taken in over one thousand dollars in virtual roses, champagne, cars, hotels and more, all purchased by her legions of admirers. Launched about a month ago, the demands of buyers at the virtual gift shop are already overwhelming production behind the site's impressive offering.

"It's a runaway train. Some users spend hundreds daily ... repeat purchase is the most common transaction. These users want variety and turn over. It's all we can do to keep up with their demand for new gift categories," said Vice President Of Business Development, Joshua Selman.

FunHi.Com is a next generation social networking site. Recognizing that online relationship time is replacing mainstay leisure activities like movies, TV and night clubs, it is successfully diverting leisure purchases to the relationship site itself. Results show that purchasing a virtual box of chocolates is far more satisfying than the passive glow of a film or TV screen.

"We've shown our games development partner, Mikusoft, that a lot of time is wasted on empty interactivity. The true change agent in interactive entertainment is a new relationship between all the players," Selman continued.

In addition to runaway sales, the virtual gift site is increasingly drawing hotter talent as its members. These often reclusive people are willing to show themselves openly on FunHi because of the level of qualification they know their admirers meet. By using a voluntary pay system surrounding the fan connections, superstars can network socially and avoid being aggressively spammed. As stars and fans often exchange roles on the site, the voluntary payment system is making FunHi the safest social network today.

FunHi provides next generation social networking. Its unique features, its integration with mobile media portal MatrixM and its platform powered by games developer Mikusoft are furthering its goal to provide the hottest new social networking scene possible.
