Handheld Porn
from the i-should-have-realized dept
Silly me. Last night I posted a story about video on wireless devices saying that I couldn't think of any compelling apps for users. Of course, I forgot the most popular one, which has driven adoption of VCRs and the internet: porn. The LA Times is looking at the wireless porn industry as if it's definitely going to be a huge deal. I'm not convinced, though. Is there really a huge market for people looking at tiny of screens of bad pornography? Maybe I just underestimate some people's need for pornography in any form. The LA Times article makes it sound as though everyone is going to be spending all their free time staring down at naked people dancing around on their cell phones.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

Remember ASCII porn and CGA porn from the old style BBSes? On any leach bbs you visited, that was always the busiest section.
