If Twitter's not doing enough to keep track of your sex life, consider switching to Bedposted. Currently in beta, the site promises to help you keep track of how often you get busy, and eventually give you some insight into your sex life. The only catch? You have to sign into Bedposted after every time you have sex. If you haven't fallen asleep first, that is. (bedposted.com, thumb via Gizmodo)

Fuddit: Social Porn Tries Again
As you probably know, Reddit is a social 2.0 news web aggregation community link thingie place where people submit links and then argue about how dumb you are. Because a lot of people want to build their own web empire without even knowing how to program their VCR, Reddit recently decided to give them a head start by making their code open source. That means anyone can take the Reddit system, bend and shape it any way they like, and start their own custom version of the service. Naturally, it took about two minutes for someone to take that code and turn it into a porn site. So now we have yet another porn link collector—one that instead of banning everything remotely naughty like Digg does will likely soon be overrun by spam, fake Britney Spears sex tapes, and annoying affiliate sites that everyone already saw back in 2002. In fact, it's a lot like ... Reddit, which already has a NSFW channel buried deep within its own website! Or perhaps it will actually become useful. You never can tell with these things.

Providers, Hobbyists, And Hardwood Floors: Walking The Virtual Streets
Free and open discussion of things that were formerly considered taboo is one of the best things about the interweb: websites like Craigslist and The Erotic Review have made it easier than ever for johns hobbyists to hire hookers providers for sex sensual fun, and have also made it more convenient for sex workers auto racing enthusiasts to offer their services and network with one another. But that doesn't mean it's still not a mysterious enterprise with a language all its own (who knew that "We took a trip to the Mediterranean" was shorthand for "anal sex"?) and its own private message boards where users do their best to avoid the wrong kind of attention.

In further 'tube news, we've recently been introduced to FootFetishTube, which is exactly what it sounds like. Another video sharing site, but this one is a foot worshiping, toe licking, heel stomping good time. Finally, a place where we can really let our hair down—and maybe let someone step on it. Once someone sets up FurryTube, we'll be so set.

Sure, we know there are only so many clever ways to riff on the words "porn" and "YouTube" — but what marketing genius actually thought that an adult video sharing site called Feel My Tube was a good idea? (Especially for those of us who don't have tubes.) (feelmytube.com)
Scribd is apparently some sort of Web 2.0 (note the missing vowel) document sharing website that has built up quite a following despite the fact that we've never heard of it. How did they do it? Porn, of course! So naturally, now that the site is popular (and investors are likely getting nervous) they've decided to ban adult content. (That would be upsetting if it wasn't so typical.) Hey, porn bloggers probably need whatever service it is that they provide too! (centernetworks.com + techcrunch.com)

Zivity's Big Score: Good Money After Bad?
We remain baffled by the tale of what is pretty much the only adult site to find acceptance (and cash) in the land of filthy rich web giants. You may remember us telling you about Zivity, an adult content "community" site that received a $1 million round of funding from some high-powered Silicon Valley venture capitalists. Well, seven months have gone by—an eternity in internet time—and the site has still not gone public, but we just saw the news that their benefactors have ponied up another $7 million. Good for them! Our only question is: Why?

Are you a Twitterhead? So are we (apparently!) Yes, Fleshbot now has its very own Twitter feed for you to subscribe to that will deliver the headlines from all our top stories directly into your brain! At least, that's our understanding of the technology. We honestly don't follow half of what those IT guys are saying to us. (twitter.com)

(See update below.) Fans of the Digg phenomenon know how valuable it is for any site to get a link featured on the social bookmarking behemoth. That's why our fellow Gawker Media siblings are constantly sending out emails asking us to check out their Digged stories ... emails that we immediately delete. You see, to us gentle pornsmiths, a Digg button is little more than a useless hunk of code, one that automatically rejects any submission deemed "obscene" or "pornographic"—i.e., any link that includes Fleshbot.com as part of the URL.

Some of you nerds tech-savvy individuals may be familiar with the StumbleUpon toolbar that you install in your web browser to help you find cooking recipes or vlogs or whatever it is the kids are into these days. It works on the theory of the wisdom of crowds, as everyone using the toolbar combines internet forces to direct each other to the best, most interesting links. However, like every other Web 2.0 sensation looking for VC funding, it frowns upon pornography and so (like every other web sensation) someone co-opted the idea to create a porn-centric equivalent. (It's the circle of life!)

Stumble Porn: Fall Into Smut
Some of you
Confused about why Playboy is entering the social networking game at such a late date with a site that doesn't even permit nudity? Let a Playboy VP and Valleywag's Owen Thomas explain it all for you. (And then come back and tell us what you learned. We're still having trouble understanding why ourselves.)

Porn 2.0: Haven't We Been Here Before?
Teh internets are buzzing today with news about Zivity, a porny social networking site that's been likened to everything from MySpace to Playboy to Digg to Suicide Girls. If you're a regular reader of this site, you might be saying "Why is that news?" There must be half a dozen or more sites out there that have already tried to build a smuty website around the basic principles of Web 2.0—user-generated content, web-socializing, and community voting. So what makes this one special? It might have something to do with the $1 million it managed to sweet talk away from some high-powered Silicon Valley venture capitalists. You've got to have money to make money, and that's one advantage most of other earlier entires didn't have. Zivity is still in "beta" (aren't we all?) so we can't really tell you if its "innovative, patent-pending voting system" is really all that unique or if it will be worth ponying up the subscription fees to join, but if all goes according to plan, everyone involved will become filthy rich. (We'll settle for just filthy.) Fortunately, in the internet economy all you need is wild dreams and a big bank account and everything always turns a-ok. Right?

Social Porn Is Exactly What You Think It Is
Are you sick of all those user-rated community porn sites that we've already covered here on Fleshbot and are looking for a new user-rated community porn site? Well, you're in luck because we've just come across yet another social porn venture, appropriately titled, uh ... Social Porn. You should know the drill by now—users submit smutty galleries, other users vote on the ones they like, and the cream rises to the top so that you can skim off only the best of the boobies that are out there. It's even got a familiar interface for folks who are used to that other web 2.0 place that we don't like to mention because they're too afraid to share our naughty links. Now that doesn't sound like the wave of the future, does it?

RedTube Rising
We're not sure why things like these always seem to happen in bunches, but after our post about video upload site T'nAFlix yesterday a friend reminded us about RedTube, a site we've noticed in the past, but lost in the shuffle. It probably has something to do with it's uncanny resemblance to YouPorn (and various other similar sites.) After checking it out again, however, we realized we might need to slip it back into our smut surfing rotation as it's quietly become one of the better video offerings out there. The clip are huge, but still sharp in quality and for some reason we're amused by the fact that when you rollover the thumbnail images you get a neat little mini-slideshow preview of the scene you're looking for. (Hey, we're easily amused.) Check it out yourself, and see if you can find something that turns you on. Ridiculously over-the-top fake cumshots anyone? More »

T'nA Flix: Still Another Porn Video Site
We've tried the whole torrent P2P file sharing thing, and frankly it's just way beyond our limited technical capabilities. Plus, we're lazy and impatient and don't like waiting for 50 GB files to reach our hard drive only to find that we pulled down the actual "DaVinci Code," instead of its Porn Valley equivalent. (You can imagineour crushing disappointment.) Sensing our distress, one of the more popular porn torrent sites, PureT'nA, has branched out into the YouTube dirty clone market with T'nAFlix. You can't download or embed their video clips yet, but you can browse some good quality streaming videos (and upload your own) that don't require extra programs or long waiting times to enjoy. Sure, it's not much different from any of your previous options (see our bloated list below), but as we always say, it's good to have more choices when it comes to online smut. Plus, there's Nina Hartley and her minions putting hot chicks through their paces currently featured on the main page ... how can you lose? More »
