    Seriously on the Prince thing. I once wanted to listen to "When Doves Cry" and could find NOTHING. Me, queen of finding nearly anything online- could not locate anything of his on the Interwebs.

    While it sucks for people who use Youtube and whatnot in lieu of putting on a CD, you gotta admit that he seriously knows what he's doing when it comes to nixing the piracy of his work. #porn

    Like porn?

    "the industry is moving toward making porn a full sensory experience"

    I adore Current and Vanguard in particular, but I skipped this episode because I've seen various incarnations of the subject a zillion times. I get it. Pr0n. People are into it. OKAY. #porn

    Sometimes I feel like the only person on earth who doesn't care about porn. Actually, I actively dislike it. As far as I can tell, the only thing porn has done for my life is make every guy I've dated think I'd like a facial and pressure me for anal. Ugh. It's annoying and has created a culture that acts like you're lame if you're not turned on by other people fucking. #porn

    @EarlyGrey: Hearted for that! Yeah, it's strange. I've dated guys who grew up pre-internet porn and known many who grew up in the midst of it, and the difference is startling. All of the younger guys have higher expectations of women loving anal sex and giving "performances" rather than being truly turned on by the intimacy.

    (But actually, you know, we're just Prudey McPrudersons for not liking porn, even though we happen to love sex and would just rather be doing it ourselves rather than watching random strangers pretend to be turned on!) #porn

    @smizmar: Based on my own experience, I can see how this would be true. My ex, in his mid-20's, wanted our sex life to be exactly like porn. EXACTLY. And while I do find some of that fun and exciting, it was tiresome to live up to that every. single. time.

    But the guy I dated after him, who was in his mid-30's, was not like that AT ALL. It was more about connection for him.

    This is just anecdotal evidence, but when I was with my ex, I knew that porn had a major influence on how he viewed me and our sex life. I was mainly just an object to fuck. He was clearly not a keeper. #porn

    @EarlyGrey: Thank you so much for this. Exactly what you said regarding all the pressures. I find most porn to be creepy and women look like they're having the worst time. And don't forget the pressure to be hairless EVERYWHERE (the full brazilian, plus butt-crack). #porn

    Interestingly, the porn industry is in the same boat as the music industry

    I'm glad you said something about this, Latoya. I've noticed that autotune has been way overused in recently made professionally produced fuckfests. And I really think that it detracts from the quality of the product, and the spirit of pornography. #porn

    @Justine: Licks your clit, of course! I'm too lazy to look it up, but there's a couple of videos on Behindkink.com where they show Tomcat talking about the chainsaw and him and Peter Acworth demonstrating its use while clothed. And LoveHoney just released "Sqweel", a smaller, compact toy with the same principle of "tongues" rotating and "licking" you.

    Neither seem like they'd come close to oral sex for me, but you've got to give 'em props for creativity. #porn

    Whatever Kink.com is doing to prevent pirating they're doing a great job. Their shit is awesome but really expensive. And the best you can get from free sites is the previews for scenes they themselves put on their own site. #porn

    @Snowbunny: Seriously. I once found a complete Bound Gods video (Dante + Nick!) on Empflix, watched it, was hooked. By the time I had finished watching it and went to watch it again, it had been removed, but I was so impressed with their work that I went ahead and bought a subscription to the site (that went on for about half a year, until it finally drained all my porno funds). #porn

    OMG! Geniouz creates another Walled Garden on the Internet! Stop the presses!

    Everything on the Internet is just a tool: it's never been about the tools' "founders" - it's ALWAYS about how the adopters use it.

    Livejournal and Blogger did many things in 2001 better than Myspace and Facebook have nearly a decade later. What they got right was the automation of presenting connected people with suggested and explicit relationships. AOL, MSN, Prodigy, you name it - they too were social networks, albeit essentially "self-serve" in the sense that you didn't have all of these relationships tossed in your lap all the time. God forbid you venture to the edge of the map...

    Personally, it pisses me off that there is so much buzz about what hasn't ostensibly changed. I like the idea of the Web as a vast terrain that I can explore under my own control. Facebook and all of the other portals feel like fucking cruise ships. Screw that.

    I think the Iranian Revolution really highlighted the way that media has been changing and that mediums intended for entertainment have now become major forms of communication and even intelligence.
    I believe the guy who founded Twitter made some horrible, asshat comment about the Iranian people ruining something that was supposed to be purely shallow.
    The founders of these types of media might be douchenozzles. They might have intended to make purely infantile networking sites that appeal to our baser nature.
    But in the midst of all the narcisism the users of this media have changed it's purpose and made it bigger. Used it to connect to long lost loves, to family we never knew. People are finding love and righting wrongs and all sorts of beautiful things. They are even fighting revolutions.
    So this guy might be a horrible pig, but he can not take credit for the beautiful part of his creation. That happened DESPITE him.
