Fuddit: Social Porn Tries Again
As you probably know, Reddit is a social 2.0 news web aggregation community link thingie place where people submit links and then argue about how dumb you are. Because a lot of people want to build their own web empire without even knowing how to program their VCR, Reddit recently decided to give them a head start by making their code open source. That means anyone can take the Reddit system, bend and shape it any way they like, and start their own custom version of the service. Naturally, it took about two minutes for someone to take that code and turn it into a porn site. So now we have yet another porn link collector—one that instead of banning everything remotely naughty like Digg does will likely soon be overrun by spam, fake Britney Spears sex tapes, and annoying affiliate sites that everyone already saw back in 2002. In fact, it's a lot like ... Reddit, which already has a NSFW channel buried deep within its own website! Or perhaps it will actually become useful. You never can tell with these things. More » -

FootFetishTube Fulfills All Your Foot Fetish Dreams
In further 'tube news, we've recently been introduced to FootFetishTube, which is exactly what it sounds like. Another video sharing site, but this one is a foot worshiping, toe licking, heel stomping good time. Finally, a place where we can really let our hair down—and maybe let someone step on it. Once someone sets up FurryTube, we'll be so set. More » -

Sure, we know there are only so many clever ways to riff on the words "porn" and "YouTube" — but what marketing genius actually thought that an adult video sharing site called Feel My Tube was a good idea? (Especially for those of us who don't have tubes.) (feelmytube.com) -

Why Does Digg Hate Porn?
(See update below.) Fans of the Digg phenomenon know how valuable it is for any site to get a link featured on the social bookmarking behemoth. That's why our fellow Gawker Media siblings are constantly sending out emails asking us to check out their Digged stories ... emails that we immediately delete. You see, to us gentle pornsmiths, a Digg button is little more than a useless hunk of code, one that automatically rejects any submission deemed "obscene" or "pornographic"—i.e., any link that includes Fleshbot.com as part of the URL.

Confused about why Playboy is entering the social networking game at such a late date with a site that doesn't even permit nudity? Let a Playboy VP and Valleywag's Owen Thomas explain it all for you. (And then come back and tell us what you learned. We're still having trouble understanding why ourselves.) More » -

Porn 2.0: Haven't We Been Here Before?
Teh internets are buzzing today with news about Zivity, a porny social networking site that's been likened to everything from MySpace to Playboy to Digg to Suicide Girls. If you're a regular reader of this site, you might be saying "Why is that news?" There must be half a dozen or more sites out there that have already tried to build a smuty website around the basic principles of Web 2.0—user-generated content, web-socializing, and community voting. So what makes this one special? It might have something to do with the $1 million it managed to sweet talk away from some high-powered Silicon Valley venture capitalists. You've got to have money to make money, and that's one advantage most of other earlier entires didn't have. Zivity is still in "beta" (aren't we all?) so we can't really tell you if its "innovative, patent-pending voting system" is really all that unique or if it will be worth ponying up the subscription fees to join, but if all goes according to plan, everyone involved will become filthy rich. (We'll settle for just filthy.) Fortunately, in the internet economy all you need is wild dreams and a big bank account and everything always turns a-ok. Right? More »
