Not posting this to encourage people to use it -- I just recall a lot of people mentioning porn as a big barrier to the video tag taking off.
Maybe if someone creates a porn site that only uses HTML5, it can become the killer app needed to make people upgrade browsers.
- iamdave 16y agoSources? The porn industry has almost always been at the bleeding edge of content distribution aside from the methods outside of the scope of their control (i.e. p2p). If it weren't for Sony and later Warner Brothers respectively we would have had Betamax over VHS and HD-DVD over Blu-ray.
- lenni 16y agoTrue, porn has also been the driving force behind accepting online credit card payments.
- whatusername 16y agoMy first thought was the iPad/iPhone.. I assume they are currently using flash -- does this mean that this is the first big pornsite available on Apples gear? I guess Safari needs to be re-rated.
- ique 16y agoI doubt this will help browser upgrades. The people who don't upgrade browsers are "parents", older people who use the internet to check the news, chicks who only use the internet for facebook and most of all; enterprise users. None of these are really in the "must get the latest in porn" category.
