Web 2.0 Leaves Porn Behind
 

Porn gets a lot of credit for pushing technology forward. You probably owe your DVD player and your video-on-demand service to dedicated porn fans with discretionary income. But as web technology evolves to support true personalization and community -- into Web 2.0 -- porn is falling further behind the curve.

Like content was king in the 1990s, in the days of Web 2.0, community is the kingdom.

Community is all about interactivity and personalization. Given the interactive nature of sex and the personal nature of porn, you'd think adult sites would be all over Web 2.0. But with a few notable exceptions, they're not. And I think this is going to bite them in the ass not too far into the future if they don't catch up.

For the porn industry, which is at least as paranoid about piracy as the Recording Industry Association of America, allowing open data formats that let users to do with content what they will does not come naturally.

But Jason Tucker of No Rivals Media (NSFW), which builds interactive sites for adult webmasters, makes a compelling business case for why adult webmasters should keep pace with the mainstream.

Tucker points to Google Images as an example. "Different people name the same images, and the computer finds the word matches. Those become tags," he says. "Think of how (useful) this is for porn."

The more webmasters let us mash up content, the more they can discover what users are tagging, sharing and checking out on their sites. Are those sections popular because of what they hold, or because of their position on the page? What are users saying on the boards, in the comments? Who is the most vocal?

Webmasters can then better serve us by View the full story

Someone really needs to explain this whole web 2.0 crap. I usually keep up on everything but I'm not getting this.

There's a good explanation here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2
as it entails a bunch of different things.

But the primary aspects are that it's developed primarily without tables, using CSS instead.... and should encorporate some kind of AJAX/DHTML or other "new" old technology....
and that it has to be community driven, much like youtube gets videos from users, wiki gets entries from users, myspace grows by user filled pages, etc.

porn surfers are looking to jack off, which generally isn't a social occasion...

and they sure as fuck don't care if the tables are used in the fucking html code..

Its people putting a new buzzword on top of old concepts... Throw a little AJAX on top of a forum, its considered "Community Driven Social Networking"! More hype than anything else.

Anyhow... All the tube sites popping up would really be considered Web 2.0 sites. Also, sites like x-peeps. So the adult industry is getting on the ball, at least a few of us.

So essentially the internet is like mashed potatoes and "web 2.0" is mashed potatoes with gravy, but instead of calling it "mashed potatoes with gravy" some idiot calls it "mashed potatoes 2.0".

Well unless you're into circle jerks.

O that is so bad in so many ways... :1orglaugh


.

Actually, that is it... exactly. Right on the money.

:1orglaugh nice.

if we could be doing it, we would be!

they act as if we're left behind on purpose.

as posted above, surfers want to beat off. they know how to find porn.

people still have that chemical twitch in their heads to what dings their bell and they go looking for it.

i know of three adult community sites that are in development right now.

the surfer will never stop finding porn.

what people had better start being concerned about is these cocksucker content thieves like megaroti-c and those kind of losers like gub-a that are in our bed stealing all our shit and laughing us all the way to the poor house.

prioritize.

:2 cents:

I'm working on Web 3.0 right now. Stay Tuned.

pornotube seems to be doing really good. I'm sure guba does well too.

I'm working on Web 6.9
