When ICM Registry was promoting the idea of the .xxx top level domain extension one of the perks that was heralded to potential buyers was the implementation of a search engine specifically for .xxx domains. That day has arrived with the launch of the .XXX search engine.
Originally scheduled to launch on September 28, press releases had been sent out to the mainstream media prior to the 28th and the media could not risk being scooped, so many of them announced the launch ahead of time. This resulted in ICM releasing the search engine a little early so they could take advantage of the additional traffic they, and the .xxx domain owners, might receive.
Unlike other “porn specific” search engines that have been attempted in the past, the .XXX search engine will only crawl domains with the .xxx extension. According to the Search.XXX Policies and Principles page, the search engine will crawl developed .XXX websites that contain adult entertainment content only. If the domain is parked, it will not be crawled. While it does not crawl dotcoms, they do give instructions on how to forward your .xxx site to your .com using your DNS “A” record so you can still take advantage of their traffic.

The 2012 European Summit (TES) has now begun in Prague and it has caused me to reflect back to last year’s European Summit in Prague. The European Summit is billed as Europe’s leading B2B conference for the online Internet industry. I started attending the European Summit back when it was The Barcelona Summit (TBS) and I have always been impressed with how much business and information was available.
Last year was my first time visiting Prague and I came away wishing I had been able to spend more time away from the hotel. Unfortunately, the only time I was able to get away was for the off-premise events such as the Cybersocket Party, the YNOT Grand Prix and the YNOT Awards. I realize that some of these events, the Grand Prix for example, have already happened, but the YNOT awards are tomorrow night. If you have not gotten tickets to attend, I recommend doing so, it was a definite highlight of the show.
These photos are from the Prague show in 2011 and include the Hotel Praha, the Silenzio, YNOT Grand Prix and YNOT Awards. You can find all the photos from last year by searching for Prague in the search box. Read the rest of this entry »

The adult B2B trade show, Webmaster Access Amsterdam will be beginning shortly at the Park Hotel, and yes, I am going to miss it. I have been going to Amsterdam every year since 2007 and have truly enjoyed every experience. As it happens, I have things to do here at home so I will have to settle for looking through my photos of shows past and enjoy the memories.
The Webmaster Access schedule looks like it will be a good show with a great mix of education, networking and parties. One of the highlights of the show has to be the 2012 GFY Awards at the Little Buddha Bar on Saturday night. It was a total blast last year. I was nominated for the GFY Hall of Fame, but I have my doubts that is going to happen. If it does, I will have to hope someone retrieves the award for me.
These photos are a few from the 2011 Webmaster Access. Read the rest of this entry »
