your predictions for 2006....

[vdc-Loki]

just curious to see what you think 2006 will hold for the adult industry?

Joesho touched on this a bit in another thread but I'd like to expand it abit.

In the last 5 years since I moved from mainstream porn to online porn I've noticed a few funny trends, regarding "The chicken little syndrome" and "The Next Big Thing" both never seem to come to fruition yet every few months were subjected to it, the sheep run scared and the shepards rake in the dough.

So now we come to the end of yet another year of online porn and whats next on the horiozion?

Mobile porn, High Deff, more toons, new faces, same places etc etc etc

What do I see to be big in 06?

More surfer boards, portals, and blogs,

mobile porn maybe, I say maybe cause at least with cellphones theres already been content for it for the last 2 years but it's been dominated by the UK companies until recently. I called the PSP market a few months before it hit and I was laughed at by alot of people in the states, but now theres 3 sponsors for psp porn today and I see it getting bigger next year now that Playboy jumped on board months ago.

I see a more personal porn site in the future more interaction, more improvements on our exsisting methods, more mainstream promotions as soon as we realize that if it's ok for mainstream to use porn to make money so should we, My best example for this is the 2004 GoDaddy superbowl spot, and all the spots for Tag & Axe body spray, if the networks allow this then for the right price they HAVE to start taking our money. (Say what you want to but deep down you know i;m fucking right on this lol)

More virtual porn will hit the market, I said this last year and was laughed at, and in the last 8 months my side of the industry now has 12 more "big players" and companies like Virtual Inovations were featured on cable tv news time and time again, 06 will bring another influx of these types of products and sites and the tech continues to grow and the mainstream market also grows.

Yes there will be more people exiting, but for each one that leaves there will be 10 more starting up, but with our current over saturation those newbies will need to break new ground in order to survive.

Granted alot of this is speculation, however my personal track record has been pretty good so far, and I'm a student of history and history loves to repeate itself, mainly I feel cause we are all creatures of habit lol.

What do you think?
