Gamification is actually nothing to do with videogames.

Go read about it, have a think, form an opinion, THEN come and post.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamification

If we did work out clever ways to gamify porn, it would be likely to have a huge impact.

Could have a badge system a la foursquare for example.

What about a LBS system for Porn Valley/LA?

What kind of live play could be had at conferences (both B2B and B2C)?

Great ideas for this sort of thinking are at events like http://www.thisisplayful.com/

All sorts of potential...
Sadly it's not hard to see my point went right over the top of your head.

My point is.

The Adult Internet is nothing more than a new way to deliver the same porn that's been sold for years offline. Webcam is slightly different in that you can now see the girl you chatted to on a phone 1-1. Dating sites are an online version of the Lonely Hearts Columns in countless mags and papers. Both do a better job than normal online porn because they adapted to online.

Paysites haven't they're just another way to view porn. Except any Ma & Pa operation can get in on the act. Prior to the Internet you would never of made a living in porn, you're not bright enough.

Online porn sites have done nothing new, nothing to really innovate and use the possibilities of the Internet to evolve a really great product. Just thrown out the same stuff that's been happening for years.

Having the ideas is only 1/3 the battle, being able to produce it another 1/3 and afford it another 1/3.

As you say the online porn industry is so rich affording it isn't a problem. So what's stopping us?

Keep trolling that I don't know the difference between videogames and Gamification. Like that gives a fuck in porn.

Marketing men aren't usually as stupid as you. But then real marketing people don't put videos online of them looking like a loser.
