rich people are dumb

"a facebook for the social elite"

asmallworld.net was started four years ago as a sleeker alternative to the hype of myspace and facebook. the members of the elite-only site keep it exclusive by only recommending future members who meet the educational, professional and most importantly personal connections criteria. movie mogul harvey weinstein is a professed member and recently bought a stake in the company, making it the only internet based investment for his film empire.



where you and i use myspace to promote a party, or ask for a ride to the airport, the users of asmallworld.net use their networking site for more important things, like selling private islands and finding the best concierge service in ibiza.


there are punishments too. members can be suspended or completely removed if they recommend another member who doesn't comply with the sites rules or for taking advantage of the connections available on the site. you are under no circumstances allowed to message someone who is not in your "circle" of friends and members can be totally banned for posting "inappropriate" bulletins.



a country club for the internet?
get a hobby.
