online country club

It seems like every week a new social networking site climbs out of the woodwork and into the news, usually with 100,000+ users already in tow. This time it was the site aSmallWorld, who just received an investment from movie moguls Bob and Harvey Weinstein.


At least the site is upfront about it's country club atmosphere:

"We have imposed certain criteria in order to keep the network private and exclusive. To join, you need to be invited by a trusted member. If you have not received an invitation, you can ask your friends to invite you. If you have no friends who are members yet, you simply need to be patient."


Exclusivity in a world of 75 million mySpace users... what a great differentiator.
