From their page: 'A private online community designed for those who already have strong connections with one another. By invitation only.'
Now, why on earth would I invite a person I don't know online to join a 'community designed for those who already have strong connections with one another.' Sort of defeats the purpose of the group.
agreed +1 to that, if you are asking for an invite to ASW, chances are you wont ever get one
i have some :| FOUR LEFT
11 invites left!!
What is it, exactly?
Sending PMs asking for this isn't something that engenders a desire to help you out.
It's funny how aSmallWorld is still unheard of in a lot of circles. Have a few invites left for those who still havent made it. PM me with your email address.
You realize ASW lost its relevance some time ago? Your bump and general post is a pretty good indicator of it too.
Yeah totally...aSW is so 2004. Best of all Worlds is where all the BSDs are now hanging out.

aSmallworld - Looking for an invitation (Originally Posted: 06/12/2007)
I am looking for an invitation - if you have one, please contact me at shalimarDotlepierrotATgmailDotcom.
Thanks in advance.

around 1% of memebers can invite, and I can assure you that the chances of someone here being able to invite are astronomically small.
I don't have invitation rights unfortunately but to be honest you aren't missing much..you will also find that those who can invite won't invite people they don't know.
why?

ASmallWorld - Anyone interested? (Originally Posted: 07/08/2011)
Does anyone use this still? And anyone interested in invites? :]
Actually never even tried it, but I've heard it's gotten significantly watered down recently. But hell, I'll contribute to it's decline - can I get an invite?
STW, I think it lost some of its mojo. However, like CAPTk, I am interested in an invite
It's great for making travel plans and recommendations for bars/restaurants once you are there.
yeah ive noticed that its great if ur going somehwere in the world and want some local touches added on.. when i went to vegas for a coworkers bachelor party the head of guest services at the hotel we were at hit me up on ASW when i mentioned we were gonna be there haha pretty awesome
I would be interested in an invite
I'd be interested if you have any floating around? Thanks!
jones if i had any idea who you would be then id send you one lol
I'm on ASW, it's a decent site for networking with a certain group/type of people. A friend of mine hosts the occasional ASW get together for Philly ASW members; it's fun.
can i get an invite too? tks
I would like an invite as well. Thanks.
Nadeem, I'd be interested in the BoAW invite. Hit me up.
I'd love an invite to ASW if you have any spare. I'm in a different city in Europe pretty much every weekend so it would be good to get ideas on parties/meetups when I travel
ASmallWorld - Social networking site (Originally Posted: 01/26/2011)
I was wondering if any of you guys use ASW (asmallworld... it's a social networking site). It's gotten a lot lamer over the last few years as invites/user-base have gotten saturated, but I still find it to be a valuable resource at times -- particularly as I'm not in NYC or London (where you'll meet a ton of other young people in the business, etc.).
Originally people used it just to think they were cool and be elitist DBs, but now I think the base of users on it is such that going to the events and stuff can be very legit (and not just for people working as art dealers, yacht brokers, promoters and other retarded buz-jobs). Obviously there's the primary motive of going to the cocktail parties where tons of slutty ladies go looking for bankers and other ASW-ites... but I've actually also made a few business contacts at these things. I worked on a potential deal for my firm that I got from an I-banker working elsewhere in China in REIB, who was here in my city (beijing/shanghai) for the weekend... I never would have known him otherwise.
Any other users still find the site / events to be cool? Am I a loser? ...It's kind of lame and the prestige is all gone now, I know.
Hey pot, you met kettle?
Just kidding, sorta...
Became a member of the site in 08 when it started to get more saturated. For the longest time I was trying to find anyone I knew that could get me an invite to the site and I eventually got one from a friend of a friend only to realize soon enough after almost a year that I had 12 invites when I barely used the site...
I used it more for when I moved/ travel to a new city because the people on the site are at least certainly helpful for helping you find good places to go eat/go out afterwards. You certainly do run into your fair share of people who are well traveled. I have met people through the site who are club owners, restaurant owners, etc. that've been really helpful to me when I travel to other cities.
With that said the site still has very much a pretentious aura about it (hence why it was once called Snobster, a play on the old school networking site Friendster)
But you are definitely right in that the old days are over for that site. I would say before 2006 when the site actually almost deserved its haughty reputation people would ask on forums for restaurant recommendations and several members would go out of the way not only to mention certain restaurants but also name drop prominent members of the establishment for them to ask for. Now that the network is open to people aside from diplomats, investment bankers (meaning generally VPs and above not analysts), and entrepreneurs the quality fo the site and forums has significantly diminished.
Do you have the ability to invite? I am trying to link up on there.
In response to the growing saturation of aSmallWorld though other "more" exclusive sites have apparently popped up like Diamond Lounge which apparently are a lot stricter with their entry requirements. Don't know anyone on that site, all I know is that there's also a yearly fee associated with being a member and that you need multiple invites from members to be accepted supposedly....
If you want a real elitist, snobby sites us.beautifulpeople.net. An "exclusive members club for beautiful people only" to be a member you must be accepted by a majority of the members over a three day period. And once you're accepted, you get the privilege of paying $27/month to rub elbows with other hotties! Lol
Haha i'm in ASW and beautiful people....i dont go on those sites anymore, the people on them are often too shallow and full of themselves to be worth your while
@Onebuck: yeah.... I really wanted to become a member in like 05-06 but I couldn't figure out how to get an invite (a few friends were on, but no one had invites)... then i became a member in something like 07 and it was still cool for another 6 months or so and then it started to fade out and whatnot. It was kinda dope though, for a while... or maybe it's just cause I was still in college/kind of silly.
I've heard of some of the other sites, but I'm kind of over the whole exclusivity of a website thing.... not to say I wouldn't join if someone invited me ---- but it's kind of a thing for young kids and socailites. The main people that benefit from those sites are high-end luxury brands, as they have a perfect medium to maximize advertising dollars. It's funny cause pretty much 100% of the adds on ASW were like hermes/rolex/netjets... retarded.
i think ASW is cool because the people will help u with local spots if ur traveling to a new foreign city youve never been to before
just googled ASW. Had no idea something like this existed (not from the US; not a high flier)
It's seriously nothing that great.
I used to look through the job postings that were on the site. And I would classify the jobs in one of two ways. One being the jobs that are for people who are so well established they probably wouldn't being using the site to find another job. These are the people with existing and well established relationships with HNW individuals and institutional relationships. But that's what one end of the spectrum is looking for.
The second kind is primarily for the purely prestige chasing, social climbing candidate. Usually the jobs are for some interesting places but they are generally commission only or have some kind of steep incentive based pay to them.
All in all, use the site if you want it as a resource for traveling somewhere and interacting with other people who travel extensively around the world, other than that nothing crazy to write home about anymore.
Can anyone hook me up with an invite to asmallworld? I'd like to check it out (even though it seems over-saturated.
I am trying to get on there, but the few people I have talked to can not invite!
If there are any invites going for ASW, the diamond or beautiful place, do let me know cause I've wanted to know what the fuss has been about for years!
Send me a PM with your email address and I will send out an invite...I have 12 or so
