This project documents an early attempt at understanding digital friendship + support amidst global financial crisis.
Starting with the idea that one could reasonably expect an “analog” friend to loan you a small amount of money, we sent out a series of personal appeals for small donations (< 10 USD) to our entire network of Facebook friends.
Although the requests became increasingly desperate-sounding over a period of five weeks (1 per week), we only received a 7% response rate.
