Well, I share your concern but WP comment spam is used mainly for backlink building (hard to get theme specific, do follow, and liberally moderated blogs nowadays -- see
http://www.highrevenue.com). For FB the challenge is VIRALIZATION. While its possible to have a network of 1000 fake profs set up with each of them having their own network of real "Friends", the key is viralization--ie., would the network find the content interesting enough to pass on. Also, FB is on to fan page spamming and there are rumored moves afoot to kill this way of promo once and for all.
