That’s not porn, that’s work… hard work… very hard work…
: Nick Denton wants to pay somebody to look at porn — but just the best porn — every day.
I think Nick has that wrong; somebody should pay him for the privilege.
Denton — who brought us Gawker the NY blog and Gizmodo the gadget blog — now harbors fantasies about blogged porn: “Think of Nerve, with all the literary pretensions removed, and add a dash of Boing Boing.”
: Nick had said to me that he was looking for a touch of The New Yorker. With all due respect to The New Yorker, I begged him to reconsider; it’s not thumbs we want to suck. “Whatever,” Nick IMed.
: This won’t be as easy as it looks. Susannah Breslin of Reverse Cowgirl uses her BoingBoing guest shot to blog pornbloggers and it’s an all-in-all unimpressive lot. You don’t want to send people to sites that make them want to wash their keyboards; you don’t want to send them into a bombardment of popups; you also don’t want to bore them with other-worldly cartoon-sex and “erotica” that is the libidinal equivalent of a Kenny G concert; you don’t want to wake up embarrassed the next morning about sophomoric word plays. Sex should be exciting (duh) and fun and sophisticated — and certainly funny — and in real life it is; online, it still isn’t. So the hunt will be hard. Fun, but hard.
: At least this one should make money. So if you want to be part of a blog that pays, apply here.
