OutOrIn.NET vs. aSmallWorld

Social Networking or Gated Online Communities...The net seems to get divided into people with memberships to exclusive velvet rope sites like OutOrIn.net and aSmallWorld.net and the "Friendsters"...which very much mirrors the real world..is this good or bad?

It Makes Sense

I would like to be invited to aSmallWorld.net, but I understand perfectly why they would chose to do this. I mean look at Friendster how are we even supposed to use that thing. There are around 16 million and people rarely use it.

aSmallWorld I used to make sense! Now OutorIn makes sense to me!!

You are right is used to make sense to restrict access on a site for 50.000, what about a site that plans to grow it's members to 3.000.000 and more!!!! aSmallWorld is becoming huge, and certainly not exclusive any more!!! Look at www.outorin.org they are promising and kepp their amount of members under 50.000 that is definetly the most exclusive site on the net, and worth being caled Gated Community..if outorin.org keeps it's promise, and i amsure they will, cause they do not want to becoming another blown up Gated Site..they will be very successful..as a exclusive gated community..Greetings

If you're looking for a social networking website where you can build your private social network, look no further than Zovue.com. Zovue is a great social networking website that has VERY customizable privacy settings. On Zovue.com you can decide who is in your network and who can see what. Thereis lots of storage space for online photo sharing and online video sharing, but what I like best is that I can select who sees my content once I've uploaded it. Zovue is targeted at professionals and is not full of crowding apps and games.

Using a PRIVATE social network like Zovue.com (or Orkut) gives you the power to select who's in your network.
