Adult News – Cyberspace - A new report published today, “The Adult Mobile Industry: Yesterday, Today, and Expectations for the Future”, discusses the challenges of entering the of the Adult Mobile Industry.

This new white paper was published by BestMobileHosting.com, a company involved in mobile hosting, consulting, and product development.

The report takes a tough look at the challenges for businesses wishing to enter the adult mobile sector.

“We did not want this to be just another white paper with numbers and growth figures,” stated the author, Mark Cave. “This white paper addresses the issues that companies can expect if they wish to enter  the mobile adult arena.”

He added, “Many companies simply do not know even the basics when it comes to launching an adult mobile site. They are not aware of the billing challenges, the legal environment, or even how to get traffic to their site.”

“The goal of our white paper was to address some of these issues and provide answers, so that business persons can have at least some idea of the obstacles that exist, which must be addressed in order to achieve success in this field.”

“Mobile porn is a growing field,” Mr. Cave continued, “And it will continue to grow. Entrepreneurs entering this field need to be highly educated. The mobile field in general is confusing and complex. We hope our white paper will answer some of the questions being posed by new entrants to the adult mobile industry.

Customer care, legal, content, business models, billing, device recognition, and proper coding are all challenges that companies must handle correctly if they are to succeed in this sector.

The white paper is free and can be downloaded from www.BestMobileHosting.com.

Adult Web Hosting News – Amsterdam - EvoSwitch, the Dutch carrier-neutral data center with operations that are fully CO2-neutral, has signed the EU Code of Conduct on Data Centres Energy Efficiency. European data centers that sign this agreement will thus be obliged to reduce their energy consumption by 20 percent by the year 2020. EvoSwitch, however, already surpasses this objective by a considerable margin since it now consumes 40 percent less energy than traditional data centers.

The EU Code of Conduct on Data Centres Energy Efficiency was launched by the European Commission in November 2008 to discourage excessive energy consumption in data centers. The voluntary contract to comply with the code of conduct contains guidelines, recommendations and examples of best practices to save on energy in data centers. At the national level, EvoSwitch was one of a pioneering group of 16 ICT companies that signed the Long-Term Agreement on Energy Efficiency (MJA) issued by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. The purpose of the MJA is to improve energy efficiency by 30% over a period of fifteen years.

EvoSwitch, located in the Amsterdam region, already substantially exceeds the guidelines for energy savings as stated in the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres Energy Efficiency, by consuming 40 percent less energy than traditional data centers [its current Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is 1.6]. For EvoSwitch, signing this agreement means that it will periodically have to submit information about the energy consumption in its data center to the Joint Research Centre of the European Institute for Energy located in Italy.

“The EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres Energy Efficiency is a good European initiative and will hopefully motivate more data centers in Europe to invest in reducing their energy consumption,” says Eric Boonstra, Managing Director of EvoSwitch. “The cautious objective of saving 20 percent on energy consumption is a nice start. Across the market, I think it’s a realistic and attainable objective. Older data centers will never be able to operate as efficiently as a completely new data center, but there are enough technologies available to achieve the 20% objective.”

EvoSwitch currently consumes 40 percent less energy than a traditional data center, but once the data center is enlarged, this will increase to 80%, which will be equal to a PUE of 1.2.

“This means that we are running far ahead of the established objectives,” continues Boonstra. “Still, we signed the EU Code of Conduct because we wanted to demonstrate what is technically possible and practically feasible at the European level. The EU Code of Conduct on Data Centres Energy Efficiency is not just a goal for the future but also serves as a platform for like-minded parties that want to achieve a common objective. This was also why, in 2007, we were the first data center in the world to become a member of The Green Grid, the consortium of IT suppliers that wants to curb energy consumption in data centers.”

In the near future, the guidelines in the EU Code of Conduct on Data Centres Energy Efficiency will also be used by the Dutch central government and by local government agencies and authorities to purchase services from external data centers. SenterNovem is now working for the government to identify which sustainable purchasing requirements can be used for this purpose. In any event, these will include the European requirements stated in the EU Code of Conduct. In 2010, various government agencies will employ the purchasing criteria recommended by SenterNovem, and will start applying these sustainable criteria – in part or in full – when purchasing their goods and services.

About EvoSwitch

EvoSwitch’s operations are fully climate neutral. In collaboration with the Climate Neutral Group, the data center invests in global projects to restore the CO2 balance in the atmosphere (www.climateneutralgroup.com). EvoSwitch customers can use the logos in the partner program The Green Fan on their website to demonstrate that they use a climate neutral data center (www.thegreenfan.com). In January 2009, a report issued by the German Federal Ministry of the Envi! ronment described EvoSwitch as one of the world’s eleven most energy saving data centers. In the Netherlands, EvoSwitch joined a group of 16 leading ICT companies in signing the Multi Year Energy Efficiency Agreement (MJA) of the Ministry for Economic Affairs. The MJA aims to realize 30% energy efficiency over a period of fifteen years.

Adult Webmaster News – VAN NUYS, CA — The producers of 2Men1Podcast announced today that their latest episode features an exclusive, one-of-a-kind, feet-groveling interview with alt-porn superstar Joanna Angel.

“Our interview with Joanna can only be described as a once in a lifetime transcendent experience. Not only is she super sexy, but also smart, engaging, funny, generous to a fault and above all, honest. We think that even her most obsessive fans will be both shocked and awed by some of what they hear in this interview,” said Q Boyer, co-host of 2Men1Podcast. “If I had to guess as to why Joanna opened up to us the way she did, I’d say that it’s due to our keen journalistic technique and winning personalities.”

Joanna was perhaps slightly less effusive in her praise of the hosts of the show.

“On a scale of 1 to 10, the level of douchebaggery for the hosts of 2Men1Podcast was at about a 4; that’s really not so bad,” Joanna said of Boyer and co-host DonG, who flattered and ass-kissed their way through an interview in which Joanna discusses her beginnings in the industry, the impact of porn on her family life, her eclectic musical tastes and her approach toward being a performer, director and business owner.

While the exclusive interview with Joanna Angel would probably be enough for most podcasts, overkill is the official buzz-word of 2Men1podcast, so the latest episode also features a discussion about marketing mobile porn sites (www.iPinkVisualPass.com), the angry man segment “Porn Grievances” and part 2 of their Q&A with the Free Speech Coalition.

“We promised our listeners that we would deliver guest appearances by the hottest adult stars in the industry and I don’t think it gets any hotter than Joanna Angel,” said Don G. “Immediately after the interview I was in the Emergency Room being treated for third degree burns. Sure it hurts, but I can’t wait to interview her again!”

Adult Webmaster News – New York, NY – Online Developments, LLC has announced the launch of MaleServe.TV, a pay-per-minute VOD site powered by its new pay-per-minute Flash Video streaming platform MaleserveTM.

“MaleServe.TV provides near DVD-quality movies to any PC or Mac via a web browser. No additional software is needed, and customers pay only for what they watch. It’s a great way to watch your favorite movies without having to have a DVD in hand,” states Bruce Weiner, Head of IT for Online Developments. Customers will be able to choose from a huge selection of gay movies from powerhouse studio brands such a Eurocreme, Lucas Entertainment, Raw Films, Millivres Prowler, Alpha Male Media, Pacific Sun and Video Boys.

The biggest difference between the MaleServe Platform and the other market leading platforms is that studio producers have the option to set the individual cost per minute for their content. Compared with others, which have a “one price fits all” model, this incentivizes studios to pre-release their DVD content to the web ahead of market DVD releases at a higher price than their back catalog titles.

“In today’s market, producers are looking beyond DVD sales to monetize their content. Our VOD platform allows producers to pre-release a feature DVD, before or during the manufacturing phase. Because it is a pre-release they can set a higher per-minute price and start seeing income on their films within one month of VOD release instead of the five to six month window in DVD wholesale,” says Hugo Harley, Product Manager.

Also launching is EUROCREME.TV, the first of a number of planned streaming video portals powered by the MaleServeTM platform. “Eurocreme.tv is a custom designed white label that plugs into the clients existing online network. In the case of Eurocreme.tv, the producer did not want a cookie cutter white label, they wanted a solution where they could control the look, feel and content, especially since they wanted to run a “condom only” solution. We will soon be launching other stand alone solutions; each one built and branded according to each client’s needs, while allowing them access to stream our library of top shelf gay content,” says Managing Director of Online Developments, Jason Roberts.

Online Developments entered the adult space in 2006 with the goal to build a Video On Demand platform to capture an unmet need in the Adult VOD industry: high quality streaming with the ability for producers to set the price of their content. Based in New York with offices in London, Online Developments succeeded in July 2008 with the launch of its first client based site Homoactive.tv. Now operating the MaleServe.tv platform for a number of white label customers, Online Developments is a proven software development organization.

Webmaster News – Amsterdam – LeaseWeb, one of the largest website hosting providers in Europe based in Amsterdam, has appointed Thorsten Einig (39) as its new Hosting Product Development Manager. Einig previously worked for hosting provider 1&1 Internet. He is to focus on streamlining and expanding LeaseWeb’s product portfolio, including enlarging its range of virtualization products.

Thorsten Einig (39) started at LeaseWeb a year ago, initially working on Project Management and Provisioning – the automated delivery of hosting solutions to customers. In his new position he will return to his former field of work with hosting provider 1&1 Internet, where he spent eight years on developing and streamlining hosting products. Thorsten Einig is a German national and was stationed in cities like Frankfurt and New York for 1&1 Internet.

Einig will take up his new position as per 1 August 2009. “Initially I will focus on building relationships with manufacturers and customers to determine what features we could add to our products. HostingCon 2009 represents an excellent opportunity to start doing just that. If anyone wants to talk to me in Washington DC from 10 to 12 August, they can e-mail me at t.einig@leaseweb.com.”

LeaseWeb’s appointment of a Hosting Product Development Manager further reinforces its wholesale operations. “In my work, I will devote special attention to resellers and their needs regarding our product portfolio,” confirms Einig. “Resellers are an important target group for LeaseWeb’s hosting products, using its basic hosting building blocks as a foundation for delivering their own managed hosting services. LeaseWeb’s customer base includes a lot of system integrators, web developers and application developers.”

The new Product Development Manager also plans to concentrate on developing and expanding the existing virtualization portfolio. “We currently market VMware based virtual private servers (VPS) that run on the VMware platform developed by LeaseWeb,” explains Einig. “Clearly such a VPS offer has a fairly high end target group, VMware being the Rolls Royce virtualization brand in the hosting industry. Expanding our portfolio might lower the threshold of our offering.”

Thorsten Einig also plans to take a close look at LeaseWeb’s web shop because this particular sales channel represents an extension of – and therefore needs to be fully aligned with – its products. “Processes in the web shop must be in line with the products,” says Einig. “This is why I will try to refine both the composition of the LeaseWeb products and the sales processes on the site, making it even easier for customers to find the desired hosting solution in LeaseWeb’s web shop.”

Einig decided to accept LeaseWeb’s job offer because of its international work environment and enterprising mentality. “The lines are short at LeaseWeb and the company offers huge personal development opportunities. It is an enterprising organization,” adds Einig. “LeaseWeb gives you ample flexibility to work on the things you like to do. If you are good at something and see certain opportunities for yourself and the company, they encourage you to focus on these things. I can bring in my experience and implement changes.”

LeaseWeb already boasts a great many nationalities in its employee base. Thorsten Einig is German but the company also employs Turkish, Italian, Polish, South-African, Irish, English, American, Indonesian and Uruguayan nationals. As a result, LeaseWeb recently introduced English as its official corporate language.

About LeaseWeb
LeaseWeb (www.leaseweb.com) is an international provider of hosting solutions that focuses on the business market. The company is listed as one of the global top 20 hosting providers and offers services such as virtualization, dedicated servers, colocation, streaming, web hosting and domain name registration.

Adult Hosting – VAN NUYS, Calif. – Pink Visual and TopBucks today announced the premiere of 2Men1Podcast (www.2men1podcast.com), a porn industry-inspired podcast featuring outrageous comedy segments, news and commentary as well as industry and talent guests.

The 2Men1Podcast premiere episode, hosted by Q Boyer and Don G, features a debate on porn stars such as Sasha Grey breaking through to the mainstream, an interview with Diane Duke and Joanne Cachapero of the Free Speech Coalition and comedy segments “Songs You Didn’t Know Were About Porn” and “Great Heroes of Porn History”.

According to Q Boyer, marketing coordinator for Top Bucks and co-host of 2Men1Podcast, the creation of the show was the direct result of a personal challenge.

“We listened to some of the podcasts that other adult companies were doing and thought to ourselves, ‘Hey, we can be that silly and stupid,’ and with that lofty mission statement in mind, we produced and developed nine test episodes, all the while nudging industry-folk and talent to subscribe to the show via iTunes,” Boyer said. “They liked what they heard and then recommended the show to their friends, and the whole thing became self-feeding, which totally confirmed our suspicion that we are indeed at least as silly and stupid as the industry’s other podcasters, if not more so.”

The nine test episodes, which are still available for download via iTunes or at www.2men1podcast.com gave Q, Don and podcast producer Matt P. time to improve the show format, test out segments and gauge listener interest. With the combination of positive listener feedback on comedy segments such as “Porn Grievances” and “Reality Porn Theatre”, and the steady rise in non-industry listeners subscribing to the show, the three knew that they were on to something special and the company decided to launch the show as its own supplemental product.

“The podcast is still very much a work in progress, which is obvious if you listen to our test episodes leading up to the premiere,” quips Don G, the other co-host of 2Men1Podcast. “But we’ve worked hard to improve with every episode and to deliver a fun show chockablock full of comedy and topical news that connects with both porn pros and laypersons alike. So, while the show may be a work in progress, it’s consistently entertaining and in our opinion, pretty awesome…and not just a thimbleful of awesome, a brewery vat full of awesome.”

According to the hosts, while 2Men1Podcast has been effective in attracting iPhone users who subscribe via iTunes to also try out Pink Visual’s mobile offering, iPinkVisualPass (www.iPinkVisualPass.com), the podcast is much more than just an effective marketing tool.

“The problem with many corporate created podcasts is that they exist only as a means to pimp products, making them glorified commercials and rendering them ineffective as both a piece of entertainment and as marketing tools,” says Boyer. “Consumers want substantive content; they want to be engaged, so while you’ll definitely hear us promoting Pink Visual and TopBucks products on the show, make no mistake, 2Men1Podcast is very much a consumer product and not simply a marketing tool.”

This commitment to substance is evident when looking ahead to future episodes. According to Don and Q new episodes will deliver fresh and (hopefully) hilarious comedy bits, a Twitter contest for listeners, as well as interviews with a long line of industry guests including performers you know, love and quite possibly have masturbated to.
