Social networking for the wealthy
Launched in 2004, asmallworld.net is a social networking site for "like-minded people who share same circle of friends, interests and schedules." That is according to their website. According to me, it is a social networking site for celebrities and the upper echelons of the society, the creme de la creme, an invitation only secret society.
They refuse to disclose their members, but it has been rumored that the Ivanka Trump, Naomi Campbell and Qunetin Tarantino are the privileged few of 160,000 members to belong to asmallworld.net
Only certain members of the club have the privilege to invite other members. asmallworld.net admin closely monitor the network and kick out members who network rapidly with the celebrities or who they deem are not worthy of being a part of this clicque.
Elitist? Yes. But kudos to them for discovering a way to mimick real-world relationships and networking in an online world. I think it’s a great idea but I am yet to fully grasp how they expect to monetize from this.

Sorry, I don’t buy it.
I don’t get why Naomi Campbell and Ivanka Trump would want to be part of this. I can’t honestly see them at home at night typing emails to people they want to connect with.
