How will it affect the industry as a whole? Hmm, I don't see it being *too* much different from GFY in that regard, except that you can be choosy about who you bother to keep up with & won't have to weed out the good from the bad... (except when authorizing friend requests)
How will it affect the marketing? Hmm, I'll have to think on that one before I actually give an answer.

The big difference I see between it and GFY is that at GFY, or any online adult community for that matter, usually surfers are shunned. Banned. Never to be heard of again until the next day when they create their new nick.
On Xpeeps though, the adult industry is basically extending a hand and saying, "Come in surfer, come read what goes on between industry people, come see how models act, who runs what sites (in some cases), come be a part of it all if you'd like."
In that regard, Xpeeps is making it VERY easy for porn surfers to get close to the industry that has for so long kept them out. I know what you're thinking in your head, "Well it wasn't too hard for them to find out about stuff before", but I think this takes it to a new level.
I can see Xpeeps getting huge and I think these relationships that are being formed are something that should atleast be talked about at length.
Don't get me wrong, I can see both pros and cons of the webmaster/surfer relationship, I am just wondering other people views on the subject.
