Grooby
Flagship site ShemaleYum.com
rebranded as GroobyGirls.com
ShemaleYum.com—the flagship site
for Grooby—has been rebranded as
GroobyGirls.com.
“Change is good, and we’ve changed
our company and sites constantly over
the past 20 years,” said Steven Grooby.
“Simply renaming a brand that has as
much worth as ‘ShemaleYum’ wasn’t
something that could be done overnight
and without having a proper plan
in place, and that plan was to build
‘Grooby’ and ‘GroobyGirls’ brands,
which we’ve spent a number of years
doing. We’re now in the position where
they can replace the original website
name.”
Grooby operates more than 30
membership sites and produces
approximately 50 DVDs a year.
“ShemaleYum.com is the biggest
and most important of our sites, and
this site had to be first otherwise we’d
look hypocritical,” Grooby said of the
change. “We’d also look hypocritical if
we didn’t re-brand the other sites and
we have plans for all of them; we just
ask people to be patient. Most of our
sites already use ‘tgirls’ (a word which
we helped define) or ‘transsexuals’
but for the rest we’ll change; we’ve an
amazing domain for Shemale.xxx so
watch for that.”
Existing affiliates will not need to
change their links. Interested affiliates
can email admin@grooby.com directly.
FriendFinder Networks
Company wins dating site
cybersquatting case
Naughty America Site adds phone sex hotline for
members
FriendFinder Networks Inc.
(FFN), operator of some of the
largest dating sites in the world,
including AdultFriendFinder.com,
recently received a ruling in its
favor from a panelist of the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN) against a
cyber-squatter named Liangyun Lin.
The ruling required Lin to terminate
his registration of the domain
names TaiwanFriendFinder.com and
SeoulFriendFinder.com and to transfer
them to FFN.
The dispute began in January after
Lin refused to transfer the domain
names to FFN following his receipt
of a cease-and-desist letter. FFN
subsequently filed with ICANN a
Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-
Resolution Policy (UDRP) case against
Lin. Subsequently, a panelist entered
the order in FFN’s favor.
In entering the order, the panelist,
Ho Hyun Nahm, found that the Lin’s
domain names were registered and
used in bad faith, that the names were
causing confusion among consumers,
Adult brand Naughty America has been making
great leaps into the future with virtual reality
content. But the company’s next big move has roots
in the adult industry’s past: a modern take on the
classic phone sex hotline.
Members of Naughty America will now have the
ability to engage in a shared porn experience with a
phone sex operator. When a member actively plays
a porn video while on the hotline, both participants
are able to view and discuss the video
simultaneously.
“The Naughty America hotline enhances porn
viewing,” said Naughty America Marketing Director
Scott Man. “We’ve found our members have a much
more immersive experience when viewing our
video content simultaneously with a live phone sex
operator.”
Man added, “The industry is evolving quicker
than ever from a tech standpoint. We are already
two years deep into creating virtual reality content
and already looking ahead to the next innovation.
However, regardless of how quickly technology
moves, it’s always good to take a moment from time
to time and look back on what has made adult
content so great over the years.”
and that Lin had had no rights or
legitimate interests in the domain
names. Lin’s use infringed upon
the rights of FFN in its registered
trademarks.
FFN has stated that it is committed
to enforcing its trademark and
intellectual property rights on a
global basis. Other notable FFN sites
include Cams.com, AdultFriendFinder.
com, FriendFinder.com, ALT.com and
AsiaFriendFinder.com.
