PHMike? A Follow-Me program? Like R-n Levi runs?
what kind of program are you going to have for Penthouse? Playboy
has some kind of deal with Lensman who also owns GFY. Not sure if he
is just licensing their name and content or he's partnering with them or working for them or..........................

I was just joking... I guess it was kind of obtuse.
I noticed Playboy is starting to get there shit together. last year I heard Christy Heffner
talk about building $20m streaming studios for their web site, when they have a 100,000 members at $6 a month. Now I see them at $19.99, with a trial and a whole bunch of spam for former members and the lensman stuff.
I hear Beeker, penthouse.com circa 1998, is doing some stuff other there. I think they started poaching adult web talent before teaming up with adult.com.
my feeling about the lensman, playboy thing is that it will not live up to its potential.
the first rule of anything is know thyself, and playboy doesn't seem recounciled to selling jerk-off pics. They want to be in the low margin media biz, and feel people care about what they write about.
If Lensman can control the tour and members area it could have a lot of runway in front of it. I wouldn't bet on it thou.
