Invite Only Social Networking Website Claims Tiger Woods Paul Allen As Members

Posted by Brooks on Aug. 15, 2007, 5:09pm

NOW SOMEONE CAN GIVE TIGER THE POKE HE DESERVES: BUSINESSWEEK’s Aili McConnon examines the invite-only social networking website asmallworld.com, which claims to have Tiger Woods, Paul Allen, Naomi Campbell and Ivanka Trump as members.

Apparently the site boasts 250,000 members, and was founded by somone named Erik Wachtmeister. Wachtmeister calls the site a “high-end Zagat’s and Monster Jobs rolled into one.” Now, that’s a hook - no wonder all those high profile celebrities *signed* up.

Woods reportedly has only one “friend” on the site since supposedly signing up in 2004. Anyone who has been social-networked himself knows the reason for that - Tiger is merely, innocently encouraging fellow members to “click on this link to see more pictures of me now!”

We like to keep it simple around here and stick to Myspace - which features the genuine accounts of dear (online, pending) friends, Lastings Milledge and Willy Mo Pena.
