looks like shap may have been right -

"Tancer, general manager of global research at Hitwise, an Internet tracking company, said one of the major shifts in Internet use in the past decade had been the fall off in interest in pornography or adult entertainment sites.

He said surfing for porn had dropped to about 10 percent of searches from 20 percent a decade ago, and the hottest Internet searches now are for social networking sites."

please don't turn this into another thread about tubes - that shit is tired and simplistic.

Fuck tube sites. Damn them tube sites. Tube sites rule the world.

What are we talking about again?

Well was there a actual drop in amount of searches for porn, or are there now more searches for other things just because the web has devloped to be useful for more than just porn?

Looks like the guys at www.xpeeps.com were way ahead of the game.

The group he is speaking about is 18-24 of age. That age group would more likely be porn freeloaders not porn buyers.imo

Its all about the social networks...

^ What he said.

read the article. read the book.

Myth.
:2 cents:

So ... tap the social networks for customers. We do. It works. :thumbsup

the best way to understand the article is to approach it with pre-formed ideas firmly in place in order to ignore objective data.
