I am a member of aSmallWorld and I am guessing so are a good number of your readers. For those of you who are not members, you are not missing much. It is a poorly run social network. I would be surprised if they had more than one fulltime developer.
At the same time, there is no need for all of the hoopla over the aSmallWorld’s exclusivity. The semantic (social) web is the online representation of real world social dynamics. We should look at what encourages such networks online or offline. aSmallWorld would not exist if there was no demand for it.

exclusive network + something similar to linkedin = linkedin killer.
Pete Cashmore
· 3 years ago
Ari,
Yeah, I've been told as much (re: the lameness of aSM). But I do think there may be utility in keeping the network small. As Jeremy mentions, the problem with LinkedIn is that everyone gets connected to everyone else, hence less utility. Nonetheless, it's clear why Friendster, MySpace etc pursued this strategy: the easier it is to make friends, the faster the network will grow.

Ari Mir

Jeremy contacted me directly, but I thought it would be more valuable to post my response here:
I would have to disagree. I am a member of LinkedIn as well. LinkedIn is very successful and I would not take the approach of “exclusivity†if I were to compete against them. LinkedIn employs something called, “trusted relationships.â€
If I know Bob who knows Mike who knows Bill Gates, I cannot be introduced to Bill unless the chain of trust between all parties, including Bill Gates is not broken. This is the best approach because Bill is still available to me, but there are several filters between Bill and me.
Jeremy Stein
· 3 years ago
Glad to see you responded in the proper place-- i wasn't sure you would see my comment! I'd argue that it would already be a trusted network, that the filters would not need to be in place. With an elite network, you could charge more for outside job listings, have a better demographic to give to advertisers, etc. The revenue possibilities as well as added value multiply.

You can't compare aSW to LinkedIn. aSW works like the VIP area of an exlusive nightclub. A club with a lot of bankers maybe, but the network is about lifestyle, not work... Like most VIP areas, those who want to get in would do anything to get in, even if it's dull inside. Just being one of the happy few to get in is a reward in itself. I had many opportunities in the past to see that aSW is a real community, and that the exclusive selection process works. If you have never tried to get in an exclusive private party in NY, Paris, St Tropez or Hollywood, you will probably miss the point. The site is not very sophisticated, but who cares? Its users are not computer geeks, and the goal is not create new connections or flirt online... How to make money out of aSW is another question, though. Clubs charge cover charge and (more importantly) bottles, while everything is free on aSW. If aSW manages to find premium services for its members (and if you don't buy, you are not welcome), it will become a highly profitable community. If advertising remains the only revenue, I am not sure of the potential...
Mark Cook
· 1 year ago
aSW is like a VIP community. I actually received an email from Mike Porricelli explaining the difficulty of getting an invite. He said it is more of a status than an effective tool to meet business contacts for the everyday business person. Mike Porricelli was very helpful.

What can you do with LinkedIn? I got an invite and after Pete told me it was legit I accepted the Invite. However, like eCademy which I also joined, I understand on the surface what the sites do, but I find that I never use them.
If someone who is an active LinkedIn or eCademy user would like to share what their "frequent use" pattern consists of for those two services; I'd really like to know.

Here's a stub from Gawker.com: aSmallWorld: Friendster For The VIP Set
Don't you think the internet is a little, well, democratic? I mean, almost anyone can access it from nearly anywhere and connect with anybody. Quelle horreur. Finally, however, someone has decided to give this messy web what it needs: a dash of fabulous wealth and insane exclusivity. Peasants, meet aSmallWorld: a private, online networking community akin to Friendster. To maintain jet-set levels of discrimination, FIVE members must approve your existence before you're "in." It's like a giant sorority, but with locations in New York, London, Paris, Gstaad, and Monaco. Discerning, yet global. I love it!
So what's to gain from being a member of aSmallWorld? Aside from counting yourself amongst a membership that includes such luminaries as Naomi Campbell and Frederic Fekkai, you can be privy to invites such as, "How about throwing a smashing after NYE-Party on Jan 2nd in St. Moritz?" Or perhaps you can help organize a "private party in Istanbul." Count me in, darling, that sounds perfect! Let me slip on my Choos and I'll be there right after I stop in Bali to pick up some bottled water from the gilded fountain of fabulousity!
Oh, wait, I need a membership. Anyone want to help me out? There's got to be five of you out there! aSmallWorld ----------------- More here

· 3 years ago
Kevin Some lovely comments out there!! The community keeps on becoming more and more advertised and people talk. Where is the exclusivity? Perhaps I am missing the point... but I thought this was for the 'blue-blooded'? Clearly, the network will grow in the 'wrong' direction, as more and more people will find out about its existence.
e.g. Gmail was exclusive for a while. and look at it now? I am sure that most people have free invites nowadays...

So how about this concept: an exclusive social networking site for people in business who provide the consumer with a service, can be any field of business. It's exclusive - they have to be invited to join - and the criteria is how well they do their job.
They are looking for new business leads, contacts, advice and access to the right people when they need them to work with. They also find themselves stuck for a good contact sometimes when they need a job to be done.
But they want as much business as possible so the site isn't closed off but anyone can access it, read about the members and contact them. Just they won't get access to the same advice or the special member rates and offers.
An elite, trusted network of really good business people providing services - also an attractive resource to the wider public - an invitation only group of people who are also rated by their users.
Hey All, Im looking for an invite to asmallworld. Anyone willing to help?
Marc

My friend is a member of asw and I occasionally use her member-account. The claimed exclusivity is long gone - if it ever was that exclusive at all. The majority is a bunch of spoiled sons and daughters who chat and discuss the same useless stuff like you'll find in any community. Sometimes nice to play around with but defenitely nothing to long for.

I have been a member of this site for over 2 years and it's not that special anymore. ASW was ok back in 2004. We actually became like family and since we were less than 50,000 people trust was not such a big issue. These was also more freedom and less stupid threads. Actually many of the threads were cool invitations to parties and great discussions on anything. But as soon as the invited were handed out at some point and many people could invite, the website changed completely. I use it only to keep it touch with old acquaintances as well as when I travel (you can sometimes get good tips). I guess it was much better as the network was really small, basically we were all friends and there was not such a commercial feel. Like everything, everything good must come to an end...

Alessandro ASW is good, not great. I can tell you one thing though: Eurotrash does know how to party!
aSW was good once upon a time, not anymore.....the more it moves away from a social network website to a business things are getting more strained between members and staff never the less this hasn't stopped its growth....the whole supposedly elite shawl the site seems to wear brings about more members each day. Since I have been a member from 2004 i have noticed that the older members are becoming more an more reticent about posting where as before you felt you were with a group of people who all knew and felt comfortable interacting one each other. aSW has lost its touch as much as that saddens me....its time to move on.
One to yacht6 would be appeciated as well! Thankies

aSw is so not worth it. it is very plainly useless. it is full of total loosers. you really would not want to connect with any of them. and to actually get your friends in and have a proper community, you have to "do time" on this site. and you may waste a lot of time there and still not be able to invite anyone. It is one of those anti-social places that won't make you any happier. It was fashionable to be on aSW once. But this thrill is gone gone gone. People are leaving that palace. I had initiations and sent couple out, but most of my real friends did not want to join this aSW stuff. It is really boring.
Hi! my name is Quentin.I want to start out fresh by saying im fresh out of high school. I am really easy to talk to. if you ever need me ,im here to listen. I am not going ask for an invite,because if someone really wants to invite me then they will. Whoever invites me will benefit from this. Their are a lot of people out there who need shoulders to lean on and im a realy good shouulder.

I know there are plenty of people asking for invites, but if anyone has any spare please send me one.

Can anyone help? c.white@hrsu.mrc.ac.uk Please consider me.
How interesting! One of the comments comes from a person i know. What a small world indeed. Sadly the person isn't a member but his girl-friend is. And she has a network of some 150 people, mostly males over there and he is obviously very much oblivious of what aSW is as she never cared to introduce her other "life" with 10s of other boy-friends to him... I like the guy very much and invited him to the other network he mentiones while now feeling the burden of the guilt now for initiating her to aSW. If he comes back to this page, he might get a hint, who knows...
But as far as aSW is concerned: Kevin you are obviously NOT a member. ASW has nothing to do with insane wealth or exclusivity! That's the problem. I will elaborate..
True aSW was VERY exciting for a day or two or perhaps a week back in 1994 when i joined. It was small and selective for high-fliers and innovators who are first to try out new clubs, hotels, restaurants and generally cool things around the world. When i joined the network had about 10,000 people or so already. It was just right and should have stayed that way. It was fun to reunite with people l haven't heard from in a year or a decade. A nerd and a child at heart, i still go there from time to time expecting some sort of a miracle.. Alas, overall i believe the network is stale, best suited to tender to your inner child who wasn't on enough lists when they were 10, and i am very happy to say i have done it all in DUE COURSE, on time, I was a very popular beautiful cool kid and still am in the outside real world!! :) I don't understand seemingly serious adults wasting their precious lifes in their 40s assembling lists of 700 "friends". By that age if you are lucky to count on 5 TRUE friends in our over-rushed and superficial world, consider yourself very lucky. And to cultivate flakey networks is to advertise yourself as lacking substance in my books.
Moreover, the network isn't exclusive and most cool people i know have voted with their feet back in 1995 when they saw an overflow of hookers, wannabes and late-comers joining in. I have never declined invites from people connecting to me as "friends" whom i met even once superficially not to hurt their feelings and not to generate enemies, but when i look at the quality of even my network over there..I shrugg. One of these girls put in her profile: model turned banker. Well, perhaps she made it to some C list of models for five minutes in her best moment of glory, but she definitely was NEVER a banker, and having spent some 10 years in the City of London in various small random companies earning her hard living and living in a council flat, while unsuccessfully looking for a rich husband, she never managed to learned what banking actually is..She never graduated from high school in her country and is a complete fraud -falcified her documents enrolling in a university in this country.. - Just one story typical member story for you! ASW Big Brother despite its monitoring powers has no way of knowing such things about people posing to be someone else and that's the problem.
More importantly the website is missing the point or identity, it is eclectic. It is not striving for a celebrity, or a banker, or an enrepren., or in-crowd.. As one exceptionally chic Italian hedge fund hunk prompted me back in 1994: but what IS happenning there? - Nothing!.. He personally spent like 15 mins there never going back and i respect this guy and his amazing taste and wish he could create something nice. I wouldn't trust the internal restaurants and hotels ratings as i can't see where the comments are coming from. Says WHO?? The heaven for you could be the hell for me!
To be fair, the website is changing, is somewhat alive, there are lots of people from various backgrounds, lots of bright young things so to speak. Lots of people do enjoy it and go there to check out the event calendar, to chat out of bordom, to "people watch" as there are some good pictures on their friends' networks, to get some sort of inspiration, to network and to email. Yes, i do believe that the email is the best feature on it as it allows you to see if it was opened or not! Unlike texts that sometimes go missing. But if you are not in there yet, you didn't lose much even though it always seems that the grass is greener somewhere else.... If the founders of aSW do come across this comment, pleeeeaaaaaaaaaase don't kick me ouuut! :) I know you are always watching us in and out,still want to be in, the job you've done isn't that bad afterall, especially that it is totally free.
And to clarify some misunderstanding on the internet: you need only 1 invite to join from a trusted member, not 5.

Asw used to be a great place in the beginning. Indeed we were 5000 or so, when I got invited by a friend. Today, it is closer to 200000 people, and counting. I am part of the few that have invitation rights, but that is something that I don't tell anyone, simply because I get harassed by people to get invited, offering all bunch of stuff.

I am new to asw and have to say it's kind of a guilty pleasure. yes, many of the forum topics are laughable (which ferrari should i buy? or anyone know a good house keeper in the hamptons?) But some of the topics are very intelligent and interesting, and the people who comment in such forums generally say very worthy things. point is, asw is a joke, but if you use it well, it can be good. BUT.. it def does feel elitist and snobby. will probably quit soon.

People leaving comments with their email addresses asking for invitations. It's not going to happen. ASW is a trusted network. It's not myspace and no one is going to use their highly prized invitations on some stranger on a blog. It defeats the whole purpose of having a trusted network.

As an FYI. This is with regards to my position on how aSmallWorld is being run. Let me know what you think.
Its been well documented that the web admins on aSW are 5 women, named interiuer police by a recent French magazine, run apparently by Erik's wife, Louise.
Shameful and Cowardly aSW Management
>> This is an important note: The quality of people on aSW and diversity is undisputed. Good people all round. Unfortunately something is rotten in the state of Denmark... and management must realize that what was built on such great grounds is now handled with one of the poorest rudest style of management I have ever come across.
MyConsiglieri
· 2 years ago
Through conversations, I began to develop, pro bono, a complete set of recommendations on how the network could stem the blood loss, the membership leakage through an iron-fisted web administration. A web admin that seemingly harks of new age/ Internet age ideals, but run like some old rusty Nazi like mechanism. The web admins, I know, are people too, but because they choose to conduct themselves as cold merciless second rate readers of English, I will treat them like the tools they are.
-- e.g., When I would be sarcastic and played the persona of what were some aSWers' cheezy pickup selves, I was pointed out as being a cheezy slimy pickup artist. There was no attempt to read what preceded that "statement" or comment.
-- e.g., Some people might have discomfort in jokes made, but lets regulate ourselves. A fellow member should be able to say, hey, that was not too nice and such. A graceful person that I am trying to be, will admit going too far if I did. There was never such kind of feedback. Instead, it was always "thread deletion" or "warning" imposed. Measures that every modern forum moderator today will tell you is not the way to do it.
At the same time, I recommended the following, some of which were executed but the advice never acknowledged with a kind thank you. 1. Members who were helpful in organizing get together should be rewarded with invites - check.
MyConsiglieri
· 2 years ago
2. List more emails and forum threads per page, "for goodness sake" if your web design team can't do anything else - check.
3. Create channels of recourse with Member Advisory Board, whereby members had local representatives across geographic or time regions, who understood the people, could dissemintae corporate messages or provide feedback to management. These members would serve as arbiters in the event the wed admins executed what were erroneous judgements and punishments. - Not Done. No Check.
4. Make web admins consistent in interpretation of all threads. Members could tell whether 2 would like this, or 5 would like that or frown on what. We should never be able to tell them apart because the standards are consistent, clear and easily understood. "Quality we expect" is vague. Are we really conforming to what I understand are Middle East countries yardstick of what passes through their proxy servers? That doesn't sound right?.... a. The membership and forum guidelines are no clearer than the rules specified in a neighborhood nursery pool. No jumping, no splashing, no running - safe yes, vague oh yeah. b. I recommended elaborating on each and every single rule, e.g. Section 3, part 1 (b) Use of profanity, words include fuck, cunt, bitch, asshole, retarded, pussy, cameltoe.. etc *list all*, should not be utilized in any context, paraphrased, quoted or altered to retain meaning *e.g., f*%k* -- Not Done. No Check.
5. I recommended the creation of an Office of Member Relations. A function to calibrate invitation standards, address member issues, manage the Member Advisory Board, serving the membership as its sole client. This office defends the community against finance/budgetary concerns, reviews guidelines continuously, staying on top of what is a continually changing society. -- Not Done. No Check.
Then the web rollout. 6. I said you should test it out with the super users to illicit feedback. -- Not Done. No Check. ASW Watch Enthusiasts tab, font color, still no search function makes me speculate if someone's grandma was doing the programming.
7. Create group functionality so people can communicate better. No need for elaboration since every other group out there has this. -- Not Done. No Check.
8. A dubious dropping of all LGBT related threads among a peppering of others. I went down hard on management on this. Why? Because I am a believer in non-discriminatory practices. I'm a minority. If gays go first, its women, and minority next. -- Why was a public admonishment within the community necessary? Because it gives any outsider looking in an impression that there is at least balance, or a conscience within the society. Had everybody stayed quiet in fear, we would have all been guilty of being homophobic. One would think professional diplomatic experience would have covered that. -- Not appreciated. -- I played my part in trying to find out where the ball was dropped, appeasing certain LGBT parties to not go to press. I passed along emails and voicemails raising concern. -- No response -- Magically, the LGBT threads are restored.
9. A few days ago, I said I was going to reward aSW if I found a business opportunity through there, a 2% equity stake as fomders fee. or if its project based, a 2% headhuntes' fee, both to show my reward and potential gratitude. -- Thread deleted because it was too ":commercial" -- No brains. No loss to me.
Two days ago I posted something that was objectionable to another member. It was the perfect opportunity to strike. a. I got my posting rights removed. I couldnt defend myself. Let alone retract, apologize, explain how the writing was purely in character. In character the persona whined about women, and blames his girlfriend for cheating on him with his pet dog (kissing for 10 seconds, thats where the reader should know its a joke) and that his gf knew Ferraris because she was shagged often in them. It was a persona below the quality expected.
I ask our Middle Eastern prozy servers and investors. 1. Blondes and Brunettes 2. My Oldest Toy 3. Whats on my mind? ---> those are high quality threads? vs mine accounting colorfully, the pickup strategies of cheesy men? Hmm. So another female member can say "meet you at Pole Position" and that is more tasteful that my writing? Ok, sure. No good judgement.
10. My friend staying with me told everyone online that she was sleeping over using my laptop and when she was passing it back to me, told the webmaster as well. When I logged onto, my laptop was pinged continuously for an hour. I couldn't do work because the laptop kept getting pings for IP and MAC address. I PMed the web team to ask them to stop becaise I need tp work. My friend's account got suspected of being dubious. ie. I'm Asian but I can also be a tall hot blonde. No such metamorphic skills.
She told them, and yet they still used the very same technique to conclude I was her and she was me.
Then I got kicked to aBW, and then I got my profile pick removed. I called Erik W and Joe R the new CEO. Both hung up in my face. That after doing some good work voluntarily. You'd think theyd address me given my contribution. No, Louise's crack web team was the one standard we measure our response by.
I thought I would get a courtesy call today, but instead I got it from aSW support saying I should go find something else. Yes. Something else more professionally run. I truly believe if one didn't think they agree with my behavior, that theyd explain it to me on the phone. It was an easily 100k job I did for free, I dont even get a professional courtesy call.
What ingrates. What cowards. What kind of people are those people. Find you want to paint yourself as more than you are. Then I will make it my mission to paint you in the real light you are. We will see who can SEO and outblog each other. I can spare another 50k of time revealing the true hypocrisy of the network. How management does not have the grace that it expects its members to have.
When you have cowards and ingrates at the top, and you try to attract smart people, you gonna get called out all the time. You only want good press but not real journalistic pieces on you? CNBC, Swedish DocuTV, Dubai TV Channels. -- Let me show you what a fair and balanced report is. Let me also remind you I copyrighted my recommendations to a T. Its the print at the bottom.
You think all I am capable of is low grade humor. I will show everyone else how aSW mgmt is a a low-rent tux of a joke.
You have unceremoniously kicked out your last one night stand. Guess she got knocked up this time. And now you have the baby devil to deal with.
I quote my favorite fruitseller: How do you like them apples now.

Hey All, Im looking for an invite to asmallworld. Anyone willing to help? I'm from Mexico and i'm the CEO of the Blue Room (advertising company) i travel to europe usally and i'd like to contact old friends from there.
I've really wanted to join ASW for a while now..I have learnt 3 other languages in addition to english, and i'm really looking to build a really great future! If anyone has an invitation they could send me, i'd be so grateful!
How can you claim to be CEO of a company, or graduated from Harvard, or a "well educated professional" and be stupid enough to believe that someone will just send you an invitation. IS THAT YOUR IDEA OF NETWORKING??? If so, you really don't deserve to get in.
On top of that, you are stupid enough (wow, you work hard on it!) to post you email. Spam robots will take care of you.

If anyone reading this post is a member of aSmallWorld and feeling generous, I'd love an invitation. I've been looking for one for some time now and believe I fit the profile with my world travel experience. Thanks!
I know MIke Porricelli and his firm were invited because of their connections in the music and film industry, but they said it is very overrated!

I'm a member of ASW, but I don't have invite privileges yet. But, it doesn't help to sit here and beg for an invite. Those who do have invite privileges are not going to be wasting them here.
But, I can tell you that the site is nothing special. It's extremely antiquated, and the web design is literally from another era (i.e. very pre-2001).
In my opinion, one of the best features of ASW is the Travel Forum. But, even that has enormous usability issues. It's a pain in the ass to use. (You're better off using http://extravigator.com for luxe travel forums as it gets more members.)
In the past few days ASW has added more social graph features, but they are quite buggy. I have a strange feeling that ASW will implode if they can't get their act together.

I wont be bugging anyone just want to let us be known
I met Mike Porricelli in Florida about 4 years ago and he and his partner (who lives near me in Florida)probably have the connections to get an invite to aSW. The site is not all that it is cracked up to be. It is basically a the MySPace for the rich and famous.
I m very interested in it. I m an editor by the way.

Oh PUH-Leese........ listen to you all bleating for an invite to that pathetic, nasty little facebook-for-the-pretentious. All of you get a life for goodness sake!!! I read about 5 minutes of this drivel and its makes me mad. Exclusivity simply means you think you are above everyone else and your not. The one good thing about this financial crisis is that all the members of this so called "club" have been wetting themselves and finally realizing they ain't so clever after all and they were about to be found out big time....and some were HAHA. Its been hilarious to watch and personally I want more of it. They need bringing down to earth with a bump and the world will be better for it. BAN ASW and send them into the real world where they have to learn to swim with the rest of us.

A small world is such rubbish. It is disfunctional. Boring and uninteresting. Anyone of any interest have left them a long time. And there is serious credibility problem. The site is full of commercial promoters enticing members to go some overpriced bars or sell you some other stuff. totally overrated.
All Comments
At the same time, there is no need for all of the hoopla over the aSmallWorld’s exclusivity. The semantic (social) web is the online representation of real world social dynamics. We should look at what encourages such networks online or offline. aSmallWorld would not exist if there was no demand for it.
I am an event planner, my business is based in Los Angeles and New Orleans. I am looking to try to reconnect with some old friends/contacts. I Have been swamped with my company, and I am looking to travel and take some time off. If there is anything you could do, please contact me at kristenkwhite@hotmail.com.
Thanks!
thank you! Manuel
Thank you in advance.
Mike Porricelli
Yeah, I've been told as much (re: the lameness of aSM). But I do think there may be utility in keeping the network small. As Jeremy mentions, the problem with LinkedIn is that everyone gets connected to everyone else, hence less utility. Nonetheless, it's clear why Friendster, MySpace etc pursued this strategy: the easier it is to make friends, the faster the network will grow.
I would have to disagree. I am a member of LinkedIn as well. LinkedIn is very successful and I would not take the approach of “exclusivity†if I were to compete against them. LinkedIn employs something called, “trusted relationships.â€
If I know Bob who knows Mike who knows Bill Gates, I cannot be introduced to Bill unless the chain of trust between all parties, including Bill Gates is not broken. This is the best approach because Bill is still available to me, but there are several filters between Bill and me.
does exclusive have to also mean ugly? look at that site! who's the "vanilla sky" guy? maybe they can use weinstein's millions to hire a designer.
If someone who is an active LinkedIn or eCademy user would like to share what their "frequent use" pattern consists of for those two services; I'd really like to know.
I think that aSW is going to face the same problems with boggus users and span... wait and you'll see!
130.000 users is just a seed in the desert even for closed networks.
aSmallWorld: Friendster For The VIP Set
Don't you think the internet is a little, well, democratic? I mean, almost anyone can access it from nearly anywhere and connect with anybody. Quelle horreur. Finally, however, someone has decided to give this messy web what it needs: a dash of fabulous wealth and insane exclusivity. Peasants, meet aSmallWorld: a private, online networking community akin to Friendster. To maintain jet-set levels of discrimination, FIVE members must approve your existence before you're "in." It's like a giant sorority, but with locations in New York, London, Paris, Gstaad, and Monaco. Discerning, yet global. I love it!
So what's to gain from being a member of aSmallWorld? Aside from counting yourself amongst a membership that includes such luminaries as Naomi Campbell and Frederic Fekkai, you can be privy to invites such as, "How about throwing a smashing after NYE-Party on Jan 2nd in St. Moritz?" Or perhaps you can help organize a "private party in Istanbul." Count me in, darling, that sounds perfect! Let me slip on my Choos and I'll be there right after I stop in Bali to pick up some bottled water from the gilded fountain of fabulousity!
Oh, wait, I need a membership. Anyone want to help me out? There's got to be five of you out there!
aSmallWorld
-----------------
More here
Some lovely comments out there!!
The community keeps on becoming more and more advertised and people talk. Where is the exclusivity? Perhaps I am missing the point... but I thought this was for the 'blue-blooded'? Clearly, the network will grow in the 'wrong' direction, as more and more people will find out about its existence.
e.g. Gmail was exclusive for a while. and look at it now? I am sure that most people have free invites nowadays...
They are looking for new business leads, contacts, advice and access to the right people when they need them to work with. They also find themselves stuck for a good contact sometimes when they need a job to be done.
But they want as much business as possible so the site isn't closed off but anyone can access it, read about the members and contact them. Just they won't get access to the same advice or the special member rates and offers.
An elite, trusted network of really good business people providing services - also an attractive resource to the wider public - an invitation only group of people who are also rated by their users.
What do you think?

Im looking for an invite to asmallworld. Anyone willing to help?
I represent a world-ranked boxer who is about to travel the world soon. This could be very valuable resource. We are planning trips to London, Sweden and UAE.
I recently have graduated from Havard with Bachelor Degree in Neurobiology. I look to find people where I can network in this area and help many in need of cure to brain deseases.
can i get an invite?
kaeduardo@gmail.com
would you want to do some neurobio experiment on me instead?
But as soon as the invited were handed out at some point and many people could invite, the website changed completely. I use it only to keep it touch with old acquaintances as well as when I travel (you can sometimes get good tips).
I guess it was much better as the network was really small, basically we were all friends and there was not such a commercial feel.
Like everything, everything good must come to an end...

ASW is good, not great. I can tell you one thing though: Eurotrash does know how to party!
cyr_elb@yahoo.fr
Thanks
Since I have been a member from 2004 i have noticed that the older members are becoming more an more reticent about posting where as before you felt you were with a group of people who all knew and felt comfortable interacting one each other.
aSW has lost its touch as much as that saddens me....its time to move on.
Thanks so much!
Please consider me.
weimargroup@yahoo.com
btw. i am from switzerland
But as far as aSW is concerned: Kevin you are obviously NOT a member. ASW has nothing to do with insane wealth or exclusivity! That's the problem. I will elaborate..
True aSW was VERY exciting for a day or two or perhaps a week back in 1994 when i joined. It was small and selective for high-fliers and innovators who are first to try out new clubs, hotels, restaurants and generally cool things around the world. When i joined the network had about 10,000 people or so already. It was just right and should have stayed that way. It was fun to reunite with people l haven't heard from in a year or a decade. A nerd and a child at heart, i still go there from time to time expecting some sort of a miracle.. Alas, overall i believe the network is stale, best suited to tender to your inner child who wasn't on enough lists when they were 10, and i am very happy to say i have done it all in DUE COURSE, on time, I was a very popular beautiful cool kid and still am in the outside real world!! :) I don't understand seemingly serious adults wasting their precious lifes in their 40s assembling lists of 700 "friends". By that age if you are lucky to count on 5 TRUE friends in our over-rushed and superficial world, consider yourself very lucky. And to cultivate flakey networks is to advertise yourself as lacking substance in my books.
Moreover, the network isn't exclusive and most cool people i know have voted with their feet back in 1995 when they saw an overflow of hookers, wannabes and late-comers joining in. I have never declined invites from people connecting to me as "friends" whom i met even once superficially not to hurt their feelings and not to generate enemies, but when i look at the quality of even my network over there..I shrugg. One of these girls put in her profile: model turned banker. Well, perhaps she made it to some C list of models for five minutes in her best moment of glory, but she definitely was NEVER a banker, and having spent some 10 years in the City of London in various small random companies earning her hard living and living in a council flat, while unsuccessfully looking for a rich husband, she never managed to learned what banking actually is..She never graduated from high school in her country and is a complete fraud -falcified her documents enrolling in a university in this country.. - Just one story typical member story for you! ASW Big Brother despite its monitoring powers has no way of knowing such things about people posing to be someone else and that's the problem.
More importantly the website is missing the point or identity, it is eclectic. It is not striving for a celebrity, or a banker, or an enrepren., or in-crowd.. As one exceptionally chic Italian hedge fund hunk prompted me back in 1994: but what IS happenning there? - Nothing!.. He personally spent like 15 mins there never going back and i respect this guy and his amazing taste and wish he could create something nice. I wouldn't trust the internal restaurants and hotels ratings as i can't see where the comments are coming from. Says WHO?? The heaven for you could be the hell for me!
To be fair, the website is changing, is somewhat alive, there are lots of people from various backgrounds, lots of bright young things so to speak. Lots of people do enjoy it and go there to check out the event calendar, to chat out of bordom, to "people watch" as there are some good pictures on their friends' networks, to get some sort of inspiration, to network and to email. Yes, i do believe that the email is the best feature on it as it allows you to see if it was opened or not! Unlike texts that sometimes go missing. But if you are not in there yet, you didn't lose much even though it always seems that the grass is greener somewhere else.... If the founders of aSW do come across this comment, pleeeeaaaaaaaaaase don't kick me ouuut! :) I know you are always watching us in and out,still want to be in, the job you've done isn't that bad afterall, especially that it is totally free.
And to clarify some misunderstanding on the internet: you need only 1 invite to join from a trusted member, not 5.
Please somebody send it to me:

Not sure it is a good idea to post this e-mail...
nouranotes@hotmail.com
any other exciting interesting or exclusive networks out there? what about this yacht6-any good? is it local or global? something else??
It's not going to happen. ASW is a trusted network. It's not myspace and no one is going to use their highly prized invitations on some stranger on a blog.
It defeats the whole purpose of having a trusted network.
loujain.m@gmail.com
Its been well documented that the web admins on aSW are 5 women, named interiuer police by a recent French magazine, run apparently by Erik's wife, Louise.
Shameful and Cowardly aSW Management
>> This is an important note: The quality of people on aSW and diversity is undisputed. Good people all round. Unfortunately something is rotten in the state of Denmark... and management must realize that what was built on such great grounds is now handled with one of the poorest rudest style of management I have ever come across.
-- e.g., When I would be sarcastic and played the persona of what were some aSWers' cheezy pickup selves, I was pointed out as being a cheezy slimy pickup artist. There was no attempt to read what preceded that "statement" or comment.
-- e.g., Some people might have discomfort in jokes made, but lets regulate ourselves. A fellow member should be able to say, hey, that was not too nice and such. A graceful person that I am trying to be, will admit going too far if I did. There was never such kind of feedback. Instead, it was always "thread deletion" or "warning" imposed. Measures that every modern forum moderator today will tell you is not the way to do it.
At the same time, I recommended the following, some of which were executed but the advice never acknowledged with a kind thank you.
1. Members who were helpful in organizing get together should be rewarded with invites - check.
3. Create channels of recourse with Member Advisory Board, whereby members had local representatives across geographic or time regions, who understood the people, could dissemintae corporate messages or provide feedback to management. These members would serve as arbiters in the event the wed admins executed what were erroneous judgements and punishments. - Not Done. No Check.
4. Make web admins consistent in interpretation of all threads. Members could tell whether 2 would like this, or 5 would like that or frown on what. We should never be able to tell them apart because the standards are consistent, clear and easily understood. "Quality we expect" is vague. Are we really conforming to what I understand are Middle East countries yardstick of what passes through their proxy servers? That doesn't sound right?....
a. The membership and forum guidelines are no clearer than the rules specified in a neighborhood nursery pool. No jumping, no splashing, no running - safe yes, vague oh yeah.
b. I recommended elaborating on each and every single rule, e.g.
Section 3, part 1 (b) Use of profanity, words include fuck, cunt, bitch, asshole, retarded, pussy, cameltoe.. etc *list all*, should not be utilized in any context, paraphrased, quoted or altered to retain meaning *e.g., f*%k*
-- Not Done. No Check.
5. I recommended the creation of an Office of Member Relations. A function to calibrate invitation standards, address member issues, manage the Member Advisory Board, serving the membership as its sole client. This office defends the community against finance/budgetary concerns, reviews guidelines continuously, staying on top of what is a continually changing society.
-- Not Done. No Check.
Then the web rollout.
6. I said you should test it out with the super users to illicit feedback. -- Not Done. No Check.
ASW Watch Enthusiasts tab, font color, still no search function makes me speculate if someone's grandma was doing the programming.
7. Create group functionality so people can communicate better. No need for elaboration since every other group out there has this. -- Not Done. No Check.
8. A dubious dropping of all LGBT related threads among a peppering of others. I went down hard on management on this. Why? Because I am a believer in non-discriminatory practices. I'm a minority. If gays go first, its women, and minority next.
-- Why was a public admonishment within the community necessary? Because it gives any outsider looking in an impression that there is at least balance, or a conscience within the society. Had everybody stayed quiet in fear, we would have all been guilty of being homophobic. One would think professional diplomatic experience would have covered that. -- Not appreciated.
-- I played my part in trying to find out where the ball was dropped, appeasing certain LGBT parties to not go to press. I passed along emails and voicemails raising concern. -- No response
-- Magically, the LGBT threads are restored.
9. A few days ago, I said I was going to reward aSW if I found a business opportunity through there, a 2% equity stake as fomders fee. or if its project based, a 2% headhuntes' fee, both to show my reward and potential gratitude. -- Thread deleted because it was too ":commercial" -- No brains. No loss to me.
Two days ago I posted something that was objectionable to another member. It was the perfect opportunity to strike.
a. I got my posting rights removed. I couldnt defend myself. Let alone retract, apologize, explain how the writing was purely in character. In character the persona whined about women, and blames his girlfriend for cheating on him with his pet dog (kissing for 10 seconds, thats where the reader should know its a joke) and that his gf knew Ferraris because she was shagged often in them. It was a persona below the quality expected.
I ask our Middle Eastern prozy servers and investors.
1. Blondes and Brunettes
2. My Oldest Toy
3. Whats on my mind?
---> those are high quality threads? vs mine accounting colorfully, the pickup strategies of cheesy men? Hmm. So another female member can say "meet you at Pole Position" and that is more tasteful that my writing? Ok, sure. No good judgement.
10. My friend staying with me told everyone online that she was sleeping over using my laptop and when she was passing it back to me, told the webmaster as well. When I logged onto, my laptop was pinged continuously for an hour. I couldn't do work because the laptop kept getting pings for IP and MAC address. I PMed the web team to ask them to stop becaise I need tp work. My friend's account got suspected of being dubious. ie. I'm Asian but I can also be a tall hot blonde. No such metamorphic skills.
She told them, and yet they still used the very same technique to conclude I was her and she was me.
Then I got kicked to aBW, and then I got my profile pick removed. I called Erik W and Joe R the new CEO. Both hung up in my face. That after doing some good work voluntarily. You'd think theyd address me given my contribution. No, Louise's crack web team was the one standard we measure our response by.
I thought I would get a courtesy call today, but instead I got it from aSW support saying I should go find something else. Yes. Something else more professionally run. I truly believe if one didn't think they agree with my behavior, that theyd explain it to me on the phone. It was an easily 100k job I did for free, I dont even get a professional courtesy call.
What ingrates. What cowards. What kind of people are those people. Find you want to paint yourself as more than you are. Then I will make it my mission to paint you in the real light you are. We will see who can SEO and outblog each other. I can spare another 50k of time revealing the true hypocrisy of the network. How management does not have the grace that it expects its members to have.
When you have cowards and ingrates at the top, and you try to attract smart people, you gonna get called out all the time. You only want good press but not real journalistic pieces on you? CNBC, Swedish DocuTV, Dubai TV Channels. -- Let me show you what a fair and balanced report is. Let me also remind you I copyrighted my recommendations to a T. Its the print at the bottom.
You think all I am capable of is low grade humor. I will show everyone else how aSW mgmt is a a low-rent tux of a joke.
You have unceremoniously kicked out your last one night stand. Guess she got knocked up this time. And now you have the baby devil to deal with.
I quote my favorite fruitseller: How do you like them apples now.
If you still receive updates to the thread you posted about Asw, please let me know. We are in the final stages of a very similar website & we would love to have someone like you to give us detailed feedback.
