FriendStorm In Flash
FriendStorm was a one-day Flash experiment in July 2006, while FriendBot was already selling MySpace automation as Windows software.
Most of that day went into a workaround. SOAP was how you talked to a web service then, Flash's implementation was picky about headers, and I spent the day getting it to send what the server actually wanted, with a test next to the fix. The movie itself was called cheat.
It didn't turn into anything. FriendBot stayed on Windows, in Visual Basic and then C#.
