I don't think you have access to any information about YNOT's market share though, so I don't know where this is coming from. YNOT as you know was the original adult Internet resource site... and it has survived over the years because our audience does find that the site has a lot of appeal. And that audience is why YNOT enjoys strong support from its large list of sponsors. We're targeted right at B2B and don't try to pad with consumer porn news that attracts surfers, because that doesn't help our sponsors. We receive regular positive audience feedback about the quality of the content that we publish, and I think you'll find that it stacks up with anyone's in that regard. I couldn't be happier with the job that Kathee has done managing our writers and publishing important and relevant articles. I'm especially proud of the job she's done covering the .XXX news lately. We don't try to be first out with a story, we just try to get them right.

And of course our company extends beyond just YNOT.com. We launched the first and only EU news and resource site last year, YNOTeurope.com, which continues to grow. Our summer show was always intended to be a smaller, more intimate add-on to Internext, but I'm pretty sure it out-drew your summer Vegas show last year, so again, must be doing something right. ;)

We launched YNOT Mail this year, which is off to a great start. The YNOT Grand Prix was a blast in Phoenix. We're partnering with the European Summit for the YNOT Awards in Prague in a few months. And we have a new business service that we will be launching very soon, details coming.

So to be honest with you, things couldn't be better for us, and I appreciate this opportunity to discuss all of the things that YNOT has going on at the moment.
Did you guys ever get around to fixing that horrific chat board you had? Uyy that was torturous!

IMHO, I think XBIZ is a great company. They have always had their ear to the ground, offered much more in the way of creativity than their competition, and write some very interesting commentary. Working with Moe, Alex, & Kristen over the past 8 years or so has been a pleasure. I would HUMBLY agree that being the recipient of the XBIZ awards on multiple occasions has definitely boosted sales. Additionally, I think critics would have a tough time naming another show / convention that is up to par with how XBIZ does it.

Keep up the good work guys!

BTW - If it's GTS MARK approved it's definitely for me!
