DVD/Premium Content Needed

xLive boasts a fully featured Mobile site designed for the iPod touch and iPhone.

xLive is growing fairly well right now, and with over 57,000 members we are able to see patterns in content selection by those users. As it turns out the most in demand genre of content right now is Gay Premium DVD content.

For those who do not know, xLive Members can purchase a monthly subscription to premium DVD content rather than spending on each DVD individually. This eliminates the need for any themed currencies or topping up accounts and allows the users to just watch whatever they want, when they want. The goal is to meet them where their needs are, and right now their needs appear to be lacking in terms of broad-range DVD selection.

At the same time, the straight market continues to grow as well, so I am by no means ignoring any particular genre.

Having said that, if you’re a producer or distributor of content, please let me know and we can get started on making your content available to our growing membership.

Thanks

Online Dating Has Changed How We Interact

In order for my OK Cupid profile to be 75% complete I have to write something in my journal that is suitable for everyone there to see. A little invasive I think. I thought the site was meant to connect people, not one to peer deep inside each person’s mind.

I have never met anyone from there and I honestly have lost faith in internet dating sites. I began using them when they first appeared because I work online. I have seen them go from rejected ideas about dating to commonplace in the whole dating scene.

Before the internet people would largely meet in person, by speaking actual spoken words. Read the rest of this entry »

Steve Jobs Doesn’t Want a Porn Store


While browsing the net on my iPhone I ran into an article on TechCrunch that was centered around Steve Jobs’ comment as to why Apple doesn’t want to allow unsigned apps onto the iPhone. For clarity, an unsigned app simply means an app that was not acquired via the app store, and therefore not Apple-approved.

All too often I see this happening.

The comments at the end of the article are what got me involved. There was the usual Church of Apple followers, the Apple Bashers, those who demand more from manufacturers and then – this is what got me – those who were pushing the point of view that says shut up and take it. Acquiescence is a horribly dangerous mindset, in my opinion.

Here’s the Link: http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/08/steve-jobs-on-why-the-iphone-doesnt-allow-unsigned-apps-they-dont-want-a-porn-store/comment-page-2/

I have a few thoughts surrounding this topic, so I commented. Here’s my comment: Read the rest of this entry »
