Build it and they will come - user generated porn January 2nd, 2007
It isn’t all family friendly on the new Web. TechCrunch has a post about a new photo sharing site that has launched to cater for the more adult market. Eroshare is to Flickr was the porn video sharing site Pornotube is to YouTube. Basically it is a site for people to share their own porn (although I suspect the site will soon be inundated with commercial porn if it isn’t already).
Want to know more about the service? According to the site:
Photo hosting:
In the era of digital photography and high speed internet eroshare offers an easy way to upload your photos and store them safely. No matter if you simply want to share your photos or access them from different locations. eroshare is the right choice!
Key service:
- 2GB free storage capacity (enough space for 2.000 to 5.000 photos!)
- unlimited views/downloads of your photos
- original photo size is saved for everyones viewing pleasure
- organise your photos into galleries
- give your photos titles and comments
- and so much more!
Private or public:
It is your choice if you want to keep your photos to yourself, share them with your friends at eroshare only or make them public. 25% of your storage capacity can be used for non-public photos.
Photos have meanings.
Thats why we give you the possibility to give your photos titles, comments and ratings. Put your photos into context by creating galleries. Also photos are taken at a distinct location at a certain point of time. If your camera supports it (most do) we will extract the point of time when the photo was taken and show it next to the photo. In addition to that you can define the location where the photo has been taken on a map (google-maps).
Organise:
The organizer helps you edit attributes such as access level, tags, license, location, etc for many photos at once.
eroshare the social platform:
Explore other members photos and comment them. You might find new friends my joining a group that fits your interest by joining eroshare.
Friendly and promt support:
We are a social platform! So we try to answer any questions as fast as possible. You can post about your problems in our forum (coming soon!).
Basically this is really social media and a place for people to store their more explicit content. There are some risks with such a public service though. As Michael Arrington points out:
Porn obviously continues to be a lucrative Internet business, and user generated stuff is apparently a healthy category if PornoTube’s growth is any indication. Just realize that the innocent photo you took with your boyfriend, girlfriend, ex-spouse or random stranger may very quickly end up in front of millions.
Accounts are free so if you have been looking for some place to store all your, um, content, this could be the place for you.

“In addition to that you can define the location where the photo has been taken on a map (google-maps).”
