ChosenVIP.com - The (Anti) Social Networking Site

The difference between ChosenVIP and all those other networking sites is that the former doesn´t let you join willy nilly and make all sorts of friends, just like that. This isn´t a network for anyone and it´s certainly not meant for everyone. Think of it as an exclusive club; if you haven´t been chosen, then, tough luck, this site is all about the elite. Ok, so it´s not so entirely out of reach; anyone can create a profile. Those with higher ratings can create their own circle of friends from the site; those who have become VIPs get access to private chats and forums, they get to bestow ratings on other members and they´re eligible to win prizes. If you´re not chosen, you can still receive kudos from the VIPs and you can play with your profile until you distinguish yourself enough to be noticed by the VIPS.

“ChosenVIP is a free, exclusive online community that gives the average person an opportunity to become an "e-celebrity." Anyone will be able to sign up and create a highly customizable html profile. ChosenVIP is the biggest party on the internet!

Hmm, isn´t the point of social networking supposed to be that you can meet new people and share your photos, stories, videos, etc.? Isn´t ChosenVIP going against the whole 2.0 vibe? Isn´t this sort of elitism rather gimmicky and unappealing? Really, who wants to be part of some faux celebrity club?
