The Internet for yuppies

A very Web 2.0 site, isn’t it? A new social networking site, Urban Prestige “connects you with others possessing similar drives, ambitions and a broad range of cultural, intellectual, and physical pursuits who understand the demands, responsibilities and rewards of an urban professional lifestyle.” Social networking is so in.

Everyone knows, it’s not WHAT you know, it’s WHO you know. It happens all over the world, where you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. We leverage on our contacts to help others, and people help us in turn. I’ve got to say it’s very much so in China, where an individual’s personal relationships are more important than, say, loyalty to their place of work.

The three main sections to this site are relationships, personal growth, and professional development. IMHO, most people will be interested either in the dating or professional themes; SEX and MONEY are the most enticing of all! Or POWER. I sure do like those all caps.
