The state of the industry

[cj]

its been about a year since I did anything in the adult industry, so I've really noticed that in that time ....

NOTHING HAS FUCKING CHANGED!!!!

i thought there was going to be consolidating, cleaning up, more professionalism etc?

is that still coming?

If anything, it appears to have gotten even messier in the past year ... its like everyone is sitting around waiting for internet porn to bounce back, while the rest of the digital technology world is picking up the business and running with it.

what do you think has changed in the past year?

I did that. Actually I took 2 years off.



I don't see many changes. New players, some people gone. Some people you’re glad took an exit.



I think new models will appear & I know that the surfer is wiser now so webmaster have to be smarter. Lol- well at least knows what the surfer wants.



Some successful sites I see are clips for sales and pay per view.



It will ramp up soon. Speeds are faster and cheaper. Still waiting for it all the hit TV.

yeah pay per view stuff and mobile phones seem to be 2 main areas that will continue to evolve ...

I have really started to notice the magazine companies getting a hold on their customers again ... using their mags to advertise their digital technologies. and because they have trusted brands, surfers are starting to download their porn from companies they know.

I just wrote a few pieces about surfing porn safely, ie avoiding the evil self installing shit. I went surfing through a few porn sites recently only to end up being bombarded with so much shit I closed my browser and started working my way through the list of old skool smut peddlers - playboy, penthouse, maxim etc.

Surfers are learning to fear porn sites ... not a good sign for the future!

I think there's more consolidation, some new companies have come in and completely made some of the older companies look like dinosaurs, lots of people seem to be changing from company to company more frequently.

I think there's going to be a lot more consolidation, I think you're going to see some of the older companies who've made their millions close up shop/sell out and I think you'll see fewer employees as companies realize a lot of them are overstaffed.

Good seeing you CJ!!!

My goal is to get enough Delta FF points to get to New Zealand and to visit you guys in AUS! That is if they stay in business

You plan on getting to the states anytime soon? I'll find a way to get wherever you are!

[cj]

that will rock!
there's always a bed here for you on the gold coast!!

I don't plan on doing much travelling this year, because it would mean leaving this:

If you can't make it up this way we'll find a way to come to you wherever you are.

thats nice. I am going to New Zealand too. I asked Peaches but I think she's afraid of me. Seriously, its on my list. If I could take my goats and dogs I'd go live there. I hate the states.

So when the goats and dogs pass, you going to move then?

or do you not really hate the states that much?

hate is a strong word... I'm sorrry. Yes, if I could get my goats and dogs out without locking them away for 3 months, I probably would.

But Costa Rica is closer so maybe I'll go there. Never know! wanna come?

What are you guys going to do this next hurricane season? Its going to be a really bad one. You can Katie can float your ark up to my neck of the woods.

new zealand is too cold - but fun if you like sheep ;-))))

great wine, great country side, but the people aren't real bright

LOL
only kidding, its a beautiful place - because its only 3 hours flight from australia ;-))))
