Some of the things we've done in attempts to go viral: -We gave away about 16,000 $25 gift cards, a limited number each day for a month. Didn't work so well, ended up with a bunch of people just getting them because they we're free. Had a v

A little more information: I'm really struggling to make anything happen. I'm hustling daily in every way possible, but it seems I'm really spinning my wheels up against companies who (reportedly) spend upwards of $40,000 a day in Google ad

Looks great, we've been using Jive (getjive.com) and found them to be super great. The cost is a little higher than this and certainly not tailored to startups. I'll be considering a switch. :D

The only real development I know of going on in the porn industry right now is 3D. They're all on it. I'm not sure who's doing what with what technology, but I'd look out for some very Idiocracy style pornography in the near future. [note:

Ha, yes. That market is large, the gay male market is large, and the lesbian market is large (not trying to stereotype, but each of those demographics require different approaches in this sort of product). We are developing sites under the
