## AVN Acquires Social Networking Site Adult Whos Who ## - GoFuckYourself.com

Mike Dutch · 09-16-2010, 07:32 AM

AVN Media Network has announced the acquisition of adult industry social networking site Adult Whos Who (AWW), which was created for Mr. Skin by Derek Meklir in 2005. AWW was most recently owned by Mike Dutch, who had been overseeing a comprehensive redesign over the past several months.

Mike Dutch, owner of BANG! Media Group, saw the opportunity AWW had and increased the functionalities drastically to make the social network the leading network in this industry with over 6.000 business profiles. The popular adult meeting place was a media sponsor for The AVN Show, held at the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood, Florida, last month and Webmaster Access in Amsterdam next week.

Theo Sap, AVN Media Network's internet director, shared his excitement about AVN's newest asset. ?We are very pleased with the acquisition of the social media platform Adult Whos Who and have confidence that our customers will benefit from its addition as a digital service to our portfolio,? Sap said. ?We have allocated all the necessary resources for the further development and marketing of this unique adult network.?

For more information about Adult Whos Who, visit the site at www.adultwhoswho.com. If you are a member of the industry, make sure to register for a profile if you haven?t already done so.

BoardiesBitch · 09-16-2010, 08:06 AM

rabbit · 09-16-2010, 08:40 AM

mike is back and he's BAAAD

Niktamer · 09-16-2010, 09:13 AM

btw mike i need to talk to you about geo / traffic

CCMediaNetwork · 09-16-2010, 09:24 AM

I have noticed it slipping away from what it used to be great work Mike on the resurrection & congrats to AVN on the acquisition

CaptainHowdy · 09-16-2010, 09:31 AM

I own AdultNobodys...

mvee · 09-16-2010, 09:35 AM

Nice going Mike! Looking forward to seeing you next week.

JFK · 09-16-2010, 09:35 AM

Congrats All

Wilsy · 09-16-2010, 09:36 AM

Congrats on the sale Mike

Anthony · 09-16-2010, 09:38 AM

And to think, I co owned that domain almost a decade ago.

Congrats Mike and AVN!

BVF · 09-16-2010, 09:41 AM

Who do I contact to get y'all to stop sending me those FUCKING magazines in the black wrapper with my domain on it?....

Jim_Gunn · 09-16-2010, 09:42 AM

I have profiles on both, but AWW is going to have a tough road to hoe against XBiz.net. They lost a lot of traction a couple of years ago and the functionality of XBiz is pretty neat.

Pornopat · 09-16-2010, 09:42 AM

Smart move from AVN. Congrats Mike!

Brad Mitchell · 09-16-2010, 09:44 AM

That was pretty smart.

Vegas Ken · 09-16-2010, 09:56 AM

Congrats Mike on the sale and congrats to AVN on the pickup!

Doug of Montreal · 09-16-2010, 10:04 AM

That's BIG news.

Nice to see you buying and selling up a storm, Mike. Catch ya next week ;)

xanadu · 09-16-2010, 10:18 AM

Congrats Mike

We are really excited for this and will do our best to keep improving it, to serve the needs of the industry.

BVF I just sent you an email man.

Jman · 09-16-2010, 10:35 AM

Very good news for both parties. Mike's a smart cookie and by that I DO NOT mean Space Cake ;)

Zuzana Designs · 09-16-2010, 10:38 AM

GTS Mark · 09-16-2010, 01:44 PM

Makes alot of sense for AVN to acquire this since Xbiz has a great social network as well.

Dwreck · 09-16-2010, 02:02 PM

Mike didn't you just pick it up? Let's hope avn does something with it. I have a feeling they will collect the names spam the shit out of you and no intent of building any type of community.

Mickey_ · 09-16-2010, 02:04 PM

'grats to both parties.

I know right? Whats the point of the black wrapper when so much more is on the cover.

Only way I got it to stop being delivered to me was I had to move. unsubscribe didnt work.

I just hope the people there now arent still getting these magazines.

Thanks all for the comments, its in good hands with AVN for sure!

Looking forward to that Mike, is all set to go?

BlueDude · 09-17-2010, 09:09 AM

Would it be cheaper to just start a similar site? The site doesn't look to complex to create.

Imortyl Pussycat · 09-17-2010, 09:12 AM

Congrats you guys, i always loved that site and found it very useful for business

. so much easier to navigate/user friendly than that xbiz attempt at copying it

Oh come on, I have profiles on both, but the XBiz.net site is currently much more user friendly, better updated and has better integration between the profiles, news, and boards.

OMG Jim · 09-17-2010, 10:07 AM

Well played Mike!

Most people view Xbiz.net as the Facebook of our industry and ...

AdultWhosWho.com as the MySpace of Adult

Is MySpace making a comeback or does AVN have something special in mind?
