Invitation rights for A Small World, wow!

Today I got invitation rights for a small world. The super secretive and high end social network. It is funny that something stupid like this actually made me feel happy for 5 seconds.
This is what they wrote:

“You have been chosen to receive special invitation privileges on ASMALLWORLD. Only a limited number of ASW members have these privileges and we are entrusting you to thoughtfully grow and further improve the ASW community.

The selection process involves many variables including geographic location, prior invitations, your activity, the composition and balance of your network, and completeness of your profile. We use these criteria to ensure that ASW members represent the most relevant, interesting and well-informed community on the Internet. It also ensures that the network is balanced in terms of geography, interests, tastes and perspectives.”

And they close the invitation with:

This right is not permanent and is subject to change at any time.

I heard a story that if you blog about asmallworld, you’ll loose all your rights and they might even delete your account. So I thought I give it a try :)
Update: Thank you all for your comments. I only invite people whom I’ve met, that is my policy on social networks. Sorry.

Wil je op de hoogte gehouden worden van de laatste ontwikkelingen op technologie en internet gebied (max 1 keer per maand), schrijf je dan in voor mijn nieuwsbrief. RSS feed. Tot snel.

  • Always nice to be chosen to receive special rights. Blogging will not delete your account, I experienced personally, but of course I was only positive :)
    How do you like ASW as social network? Do you visite ASW regularly?

  • @edie and @ruben. Thanks for your comments. I only invite people whom I’ve met, that is my policy on social networks. Sorry.
    @edie if you like to widen your horizon I would recommend facebook or hyves (depending on where you’re based).

    so would you be willing to send me an invite as well? =) I’m part of another invite-only site that I’d be able to send you an invite for.

    Hi,

    I have two friends in ASW, but they don’t have invitation privileges.
    I was wondering if anyone could send me an invitation or let me know how to get invited?

    Thanks.

    Comment | August 7, 2008
  • Now, as an inviter, does that mean people you invite can join, or do you and 49 other people have to invite someone before they can actually join?

    Hello, I suggest you to ask your friends for an invitatiom, I’m sure nobody would invite people who doen’t know. You waste your time asking and asking, I’m on asmallworld, I’ve many friends there, but if you know just one or two people why you wanna join it? I think facebook is better for you.
    Bests,

    Hey Patrick,

    dont worry, I am not asking for an invite. I have my own social network full of cigar and whisky smokers in China. (won’t tell the site name here coz it’s not an ad).

    If you come to China or Hong Kong, drop me a message, let’s have cigars sometime.

    Cheers,
    James

    It’s so silly became a member of this invented society, i think that money don’t made people, i have facebook and i’m happy, may b u have ASW and u r so unhappily. But the most important is, that u and me in a future will end under ground…u know.

    Regards from spain!

    Comment | November 18, 2008
  • I think it’s hilarious that the exclusivity of ASW broods a want for an invite, when the fact of the matter is it’s just another marketing avenue for a real estate mogul to make money.

    People don’t see through that, and feel basking in the glow of those that were invited to begin with will help alleviate the advertising woes of yet another miniature MySpace.

    Have fun with it. I’ll continue what I’m doing ;)

  • [...] got invites to ASW and now I can invite up to 10 people in the network. I blogged about this on my personal blog and I was surprised to find out that that particular post got 22 comments (make sure to check them) [...]

  • hey Patrick, I read your July’s discussion and at the time “I have a dream”: is possible to have the permission to enter into asw; so an italian guy can join to the real world too.

    initially i truly wanted an invitation to small world.
    now i couldn’t care less.
    if it’s all about money and social standing then it’s all about nothing that is truly important.
    i am secure in the knowledge of my own self worth and ethics and will find my entertainment in the silly world of yoville.
    may all you pretentious stuffed shirts play on without me.
    no hard feelings - just think you take yourselves WAY too seriously small world!!!
    blessings to you all!

    Hi there,

    I am just other looser like you all that would love to have access to this awesome ‘ASW’ kinda of facebook, so I can meet some snobby and posh people -and who knows- maybe be a lover of a rich woman (Mom says that I am good looking chap)who pays for my trips.

    Please, please .. invite me to get part of the ASW ‘elite’ and if you are Obama, Sharkozy o Putin I will give you some advice on how to track down those bankers who screw up the world (maybe they are part of ASW also..)

    ASW or a small world is a ‘wank’ and shallow…it is not an effective social networking site.

    A lot of my connections and friends dont even use it - as it is a pain and a tired platofrm - POOR usability.

    Basically they tried to create something of substance…the truth is it is a front to generate advertising revenue and an excuse for the ‘born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-your-mouth’ owners to inflate their superiority and social standing (err…egos!) over their peers.

    And when you are bounced off or resigned from a small world, they NEVER delete one’s details as they use all members : active - current - past etc, to fool prospective advertisers of the ASW member base and how big it is.

    I’ve been on asw and it is a joke…really nothing special! So dont be a wannabe…be real and be you.

    I agree with Patrick on his views.

    ciao ciao

    Comment | May 7, 2009
  • Hi there! is it possible for you to send me an invitation? none of my friends are available to do it!! you might know this message…

    Sorry, but you do not have invitation privileges.
    Only a small percentage of the ASW community is given invitation privileges. The selection process is based on a variety of criteria that ensures the community is balanced in terms of geography, interests, tastes and perspectives. Invitation criteria is key to maintaining the exclusive community that we all value.
    If you receive invitation privileges in the future, we will notify you via your ASW inbox.

    Hi,
    I’m Evelyn, from Greenwich, CT, and I would really appreciate an invite, partially for my social studies project but also just to see, what is behind this “myth” of ASW. A handful of my friends have it, but they don’t have the privilege to send out invites.
    Thanks in advance!

    You’re breaking the code and while you may look special to non-members you look like an ass to us.
