MoSexIndex Beta 1.0 Launches
Welcome to the MoSexIndex, a new "social content" project for cataloguing and providing listings to the best sex sites on the web, created by the Museum of Sex.
While "sex-site" listing services are nothing new, one that uses the collective intelligence of a community -- as opposed to a small group of editors -- most definitely is. The Museum of Sex was inspired by the incredible success of other web 2.0 sites (aka social content/networking/tagging/etc.) to create such a site specifically for online sexual content, including porn sites, news, art, literature, and much much more.
The site will only get better as more people participate. We greatly appreciate your efforts in helping us start by:
+ posting new sites
+ tagging and rating sites that others post, and
+ giving us your feedback during this beta test
The sites you rate and "tag" are saved into your personal site archive, found in the "mySexIndex" section. Tagging is an extremely useful way to organize sites that you like. In addition, as others in the MoSexIndex community participate, the group effort will begin to develop an intelligence about the sites that everyone tags individually, creating a categorization method far superior to those used in other listings sites.
In coming weeks, we will incorporate some exciting new features, not least of which will be collaborative filtering technology. Collaborative filtering is based on the theory that "birds of a feather flock together." Your personal site ratings will help the MoSexIndex find other users that have similar tastes to you. The "mySexIndex" page will eventually showcase sites that score well in your unique "taste community," which means you'll get site recommendations matched to your unique sexual tastes, an unprecedented feature for online sex content.
This is just the beginning. We hope you are as excited about the MoSexIndex as we are! Please check this MoSexIndex news page for future updates and announcements. And thanks again for your participation!
