Web 2.0 and the Adult Dating Industry

Web 2.0 is a trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to facilitate creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users.

These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis and blogs and are having a significant impact on online adult dating.

The term web 2.0 became notable after the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use webs.

With the adult dating industry traditionally on the forefront of new online developments, new business models of adult entertainment websites have emerged.

With most video on demand and traditional pay-for content websites on the decline, the web 2.0 principle of the user becoming the creator of content proves more and more successful.

More successful adult content sites combine the principles of adult dating with content websites. Sites like newbienudes or foramateursonly let the users create a profile and upload their own amateur content. This concept also gives people the opportunity to get in contact with each other, providing an adult dating platform while also providing plenty of amateur content to exchange.

The business principle behind amateur adult dating sites relies on rewarding users for uploading content while charging for the viewing. The downside of that business model a lot of webmasters are now experiencing is serious problems with copyright law infringement.
