Just came across this and started to wonder if it's a good or bad thing.

I myself am unsure how positive that is. Being a webmaster and running a program myself I'm not sure i'd want my program/sites pushed to the mainstream viewer for them to view. We get enough heat on us as it is, why invite people who are not looking for porn to come view our sites?

I can see the "yeah publicity is good deal" with it, but yahoo/prnnews and wherever else this is sent hits some major people. To me it could be hitting a lot of people who are not looking for porn and may make them speak out against porn. Could be taken as highly creative spam. Kinda like why are we in their backyard deal you know?

This is just my opinion, I'm not bashing X Biz in anyway and have friends who work there, I'm just looking for your opinion.

I personally like to keep things low key....

Traditionally those who stick their heads up tend to get pounded by the hammer.

But to each his own....

Yeah, there seems to be a direct correlation between mainstream publicity and the size of one's legal bills....
