Sneak Peek at Social Network for Affluent Consumers & Luxury Brands

Jolie O’Dell of VentureBeat (formally of Mashable) has the scoop on our upcoming social media platform for affluent consumers to rank, share and follow their favorite luxury brands. Powered by Facebook, the new social network will be a fantastic destination for our readers to share and review their most pursued luxuries — from autos, hotels, restaurants, gadgets, products and more…

“It’s the country club come to the Internet: Pursuitist, the website about all things high-end, is getting ready to unveil a new social layer for those who live the good life.
