The short version is that xpeeps is for the industry. It's a place, very similar to myspace, where industry people can market without overt censorship. It's myspace with tits, so to speak.

Along those lines, we let surfers have profiles. That's to gather page views and more sticky members - no pun intended. Size matters when dealing with advertisers, and we want everyone to be able to advertise and market on the site.

I don't see us even resembling GFY in any sense. We aren't really going for the webmaster traffic, in terms of using the forums, etc. We're after the "other side" of the industry as far as networking goes. Hooking studios and directors up with stars and models, etc. Letting cam girls show off their hooters, etc. We definately want webmasters and cash companies to market and sell on the site - I'd love to see all the solo girls have their own profiles, for example.

We're not planning to have a webmaster forum - GFY and Oprano and others do a great job of that. AEBN's history is porn stars, studios, and affiliates, and we're pretty much following that guide with xpeeps. But, everyone is welcome, and encouraged, to monetize the site and make some bank. Figuring out exactly how to do that is the challenge.

Gotta run - still things to do before heading to the show.

Thanks for that FusionX, that puts it in better perspective for me.

And damn..."Myspace with tits would" have been a great tag line!
