How the Rich Are Different

Ernest Hemingway reportedly said to F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The rich are different...they have more money." They also have more social media sites.

Not for long, perhaps.

Rich In a recent post (http://bit.ly/1BBZfs) to the WSJ Wealth Report,"'Facebooks' for the Rich Flounder," blogger Robert Frank suggests that interest in asmallworld.net and gawker.com are waning because, according to Gawker, "Rich guys don’t want to socialize only with one another, and once you let in enough attractive young women and such, your VIP site loses it cachet and everyone might as well just hang out on Facebook."

Except for the money thing, perhaps the rich aren't so different after all.
