Palm Porn Not Selling

from the try-again dept

Business Week has an article about a company that's trying to raise money for it's wireless porn offerings. Not surprisingly, they're having some problems. Some of the analysts quotes suggest that the woman who founded the company is trying too soon, since the technology just isn't there yet. I think any business that's relying on its customers being so desperate for porn that they have to get it on their wireless devices, might be facing an uphill battle.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Porn is always cutting edge....

    I think wireless porn will eventually catch on... but will it be the killer app for wireless? Hmmm. I don't think so. But it probably will be one of the first profitable wireless biz....
