New 'Facebook for Rich People' Costs Just $9,000 to Join.

excerpt:
Quote:
Netropolitan is a new social network that bills itself as "the online country club for people with more money than time." It launched today and organizers insist that it's not a joke.
The $9,000 fee includes a $6,000 initiation fee, plus a $3,000 annual fee. You must be 21 to join. You'll supposedly be able to chat with like-minded individuals, though Netropolitan declined to provide details about its user base.
Netropolitan"We simply cannot stress enough how important preserving our members' privacy is to us," the company said. "Other than announcing that at our launch we already had several hundred members, we will never publicly state the exact number of members in the club. And especially, we will NEVER release or verify the identity of any of our members – ever.
What does $9,000 get you? Basically a Facebook rip-off. In screen shots, user profiles include access to activity, profile, notifications, messages, location, friends, and followers. An update box lets you tell fellow members "where you are and what you're up to."

It might be good for mobsters who have money and want privacy when talking to their friends-as long as it is not a cover for the NSA

I think it's a scam, actually. Probably some idiot with some basic computer skills trying to make some cash off stupid rich people.

Well, since you have to pay an annual fee, I hope that the fancier items in farmville are free, and you never have to send people requests for parts.
That being said, I wonder how many people would jump for this?
My guess is that trust fund babies would say yes, though I doubt that adults would be interested in a $9000 facebook account when you can join the real thing for free.

Likely as a less used private chat system. Keep out annoyances such as those you dislike as well as authorities. Unless the NSA decides to filter through this (which they will).
