Porn has not been left behind by web 2.0. If porn is your thing, then there are many sites out there to help with your interests. Pornotube, one of the first web 2.0 sites, allows users to share videos and images. However as anyone who has been to the site, soon realizes that most of the videos are actually trailers for the web 1.0 sites, or are short, under 2 minute, videos.

Ask any wanker and they’ll tell you that the best contenders in this category, and tops in Alexa ratings, are youporn and Megarotic. Both sites offer more than trailers and short clips. That is why they are popular. They have been able to embrace the user generated Web 2.0 sharing experience among users.

Another social networking site has launched. iYomu is touting itself as Social Networking for Grown Ups. Iyomu has the usual social networking tools, It’s free and features one gigabyte of storage for photos and documents, search tools, a personal homepage, email account,  and a personality test.

It has a Flash-based personality test, called iYDNA, which uses a slide bar. It is supposed to make it easy to select a personality type. In turn you can you use it to find other people who are as perverted as you are.

They are also pushing a one million dollar challenge. The iYomu.com Challenge involves a series of puzzles and tasks to earn points. The top 10 points earners, Which will probably not be you, will be interviewed by iYomu and three grand finalists selected. Those 3 people will “explain why they should receive US$1 million and how it will change their lives”.

Hopefully the company will still be around when the winner is announced in Feb. 2008.

The blogosphere is on fire over Google News Walling Off Content from other websites using aggregators to crawl their news. Of course Google has been doing this for years while hosting other’s news. However, I saw this as a plus for news sites since showing up in Google is always a plus.

Maybe this is the beginning of the end of aggregation. It is always suggested to write your own content, so maybe bloggers and other sites are now going to have to go back to reading articles and rewriting in their own words what they wrote.
