The recent phenomenon of so called "Gated Online Communities" seems to be catching on. Most of us are used to stand behind the velvet rope and wait patiently for a grim looking individual to let us pass the barrier and grant us entry into the "exclusive" and "hip" clubs. This is a well known ritual around the world repeating itself every Saturday or any other Party night of the week.

After looking at the application process of both competitors I could not avoid thinking "what comes next" and "who are these people so desperate to join these sites offering thousands of dollars to get an invitation"?
