Nobody’s famous!, is really all the headline ought to have read in the Times (UK)’s latest technology bit on internet celebrity. Of course, we know that the virtue in having total, always-on infamy available to everyone (oh, except those pesky people still living without highspeed web access or GPRS, or cameras, or [...]
The nymphs are departed.
And their friends, the loitering heirs of city directors;
Departed, have left no addresses.

I don’t mean to lay the blame at your feet, internet, but I am. How abysmal, how easy. In the morning there are sex bloggers on both America’s coasts (and in the middle, too, but [...]
ana voog, o.g. camgirl and no stranger to acts of internet surveillance, points to these Google Map Street View shots of the entrances to porn stores and strip clubs in San Francisco.
Not so much to track who is coming in and out of porn shops, here’s a few images I just searched on. Are [...]
LiveJournal has deleted hundreds of journals and communities (a list in progress) in response to pressure by Warriors for Innocence, an Internet-based vigilante group with the predictably Dungeons and Dragons’-ish motto, “Hunting monsters on the Web.”
What was Warriors for Innocence and Six Apart’s criteria, then, for determining if a journal “promote[s] pedophilia, child sex, child [...]
We’ve tried, we’ve tried, and we’ve failed to keep any regular sexual tabs on digg. Simply put: a) a story on digg needn’t even touch upon sodomy to bring out some users’ inner homophobes-cum-AssholeTeenageBoys (no, that’s not a gay porn); b) when so much sex online is so bad, and then you throw [...]
We were too occupied [redacting] [redacted] ourselves to watch live, but as the morning Twitters came rolling in, it became clear: finally, after 22 days, camboy-cum-lately Justin.tv had sex, on camera. Sort of.
Of course the best part of vlogebrity sex tapes is taking the credit-slash-blame.
Scott Beale, who organized the Justin meetup a few [...]
A few minutes ago, Jackson West warned the twitterverse that qdot, of the premiere teledildonics resource slashdong, would be demo’ing ‘twitterdildonics’ at the Lifehacker party at South by Southwest, like, now, in Austin.
Just in: vibrating pants are go, and now says Scott Beale,
Twitterdildonics shaking things up at Lifehacker. SMS induced orgasims [sic] for all.
(Via twitter, [...]
Like many of the great sex and romance axioms of our time, this one was born out of Instant Messenger.
Goes a little something like this: once, there were clearer markers of what was public and what was private, who has celebrity and who’s just climbing a ladder to the stars, and what to expect [...]
Oh no they didn’t. Valleywag gives aspiring bubble hotties a HOWTO for faking your own hotness, should it have failed to kick in with your series B funding. They’ve got a case study and everything. Amazing. Trashy, yes, and amazing.
A surefire way to score with bubble hottie-chasing scenesters is to gently [...]
We’re still feeling out Twitter’s utility for reporting sex and pre-sex (and the post-game, too) live.
Based on these samples from the ramp-up to the weekend (and the comedown from Thursday’s hangovers), I wonder, is all the action going down among “updates only to friends right now”, or is the eros of Twitter elsewhere?
True, there’s [...]
