I recently received an invitation to join a new social network – a private, Jewish-Israeli, invitation-only network. I don’t want to inadvertedly hurt anyone, so I won’t mention its name here.
The person who sent me the invitation knows the founder and entrepreneur behind this network, so you can say that I am two degrees away from the center.
So I signed in, and I discovered a useless website, basically another facebook-wannabe. What’s even worse, a couple of days later, I had in my inbox a welcome message from the founder. Here is a short quote from his first message:
Our goal is to develop this private community of leading Jewish prof’ who are just a bit better.
At that point, I stopped reading.

That’s so juicy that I wouldn’t have been able to stop reading.

Well, “stopped reading” is more of a methaphore to my disgust, rather than an actual action.
Being a leading Jewish professional (such as I am, of course), I read everything that is sent to me, even blog comments
