I don't follow the adult industry at all but it seems to be a natural for social networking.

ALT.com and AdultFriendFinder are perfect sites for Penthouse... way to go! Now I can write off my magazine subscriptions!

I hope this forces AdultFriendFinder to adopt a more ethical business model; they pissed off a ton of adult webmasters on their road to riches.

BTW, Penthouse.com is turning into one of the best paysites on the net: 4000px, digital images, weekly live chat with some of hottest online porn starlets (e.g. Brooke Banner, Hanna Harper, Shay Loren) that last 4 hours/night. Their only problem is their videos suck - close to unwatchable. Otherwise membership is way better than a magazine subscription (unless you subscribe to read the articles).

Nothing like Penthouse buying up a Christian dating site (bigchurch.com)!?  I'm guessing they'll be selling that one pretty quick.
