We are Resurrecting Mobile in North America! Now that the networks speed have dramatically improved in we can do just about anything that can be done on the Web. Think about the internet 6 years ago and that is where mobile is at now! Here comes the next boom for adult mark my words!

that would be inspiring if it wasn't for the fact that you weren't the 50th company to come out with the "next big mobile thing" which ALL fade away and dissapear in a few months... in spite of their enthusiasm and market research.

theharvman 08-14-2008 08:27 AM

I have been in the Game for 6 years and the adult space for 10. This is not just some other company. I have built the whole site around years of research and I have already been though the ups and downs of both industries. This is as perfect as any site is going to get when you combine the best of both worlds.

theharvman 08-14-2008 08:34 AM

I can appreciate your point as there have been a lot of fly-by-night mobile companies but I am not now, nor have I ever been in that category. I was the fist person on the ground with AEBN's site Xobile.com and ported down over 50,000 clips from 911 manufactures over 4 years ago and that site is still converting at 1 in 75. I don't know any one else that can say they built a mobile site 4 years ago and it's still going strong!

everyone to date has said the same stuff... same market research, same hype... same "great team of people", same "great solutions, solid program, great content" etc. the mobile roads in this biz so far have all lead to the same place.

eventually someone will roll the dice and win. hasn't happened yet. doesn't look like it will anytime soon.

theharvman 08-14-2008 08:54 AM

That is your opinion and you are certainly entitled to it lord know there are pessimist every where. The fact of the matter is that Mobile economic growth is at an all time high. Xobile.com a company I Co-founded was and still is a cash positive revenue generating mobile site. Four different VC firms after due diligence concluded that is was safe to invest over 42 million dollars in the adult mobile aggregator WAAT media in the past 2 years. Private Media had made Mobile a huge part of there culture. Digital Playground has just recently launched a site solely dedicated to mobile clients and it is iphone specific.

Since when does the past dictate the future?

atom 08-14-2008 09:04 AM

Good luck harvman! This board is filled with people that love to pick apart ideas, business models, tell them how they will fail etc. Just ignore them....

I have been tainted by the mobile/porn industry too but there isn't any reason why you can't do it right this time around.

hey Harvey, dont listen to the negative , just carry on ! Best of luck with the project :thumbsup

theharvman 08-14-2008 09:28 AM

Thanks JFK, Thanks Atom. You guys know that I have never half assed anything in my life this is a major accomplishment for me and I will not let this fail. Every company I have consulted for has made money off of the knowledge I have provided when it came to the mobile. This company will be no exception.

Kudles 08-14-2008 09:35 AM

Hey congrats!!

Jman 08-14-2008 09:38 AM

Thanks for sending us the email Harv, your stuff looks really good ;-)

kmanrox 08-14-2008 09:39 AM

im wondering how you can bill porn solidly in the US.. i hear it's a bitch

benoitlc666 08-14-2008 09:43 AM

Congrats Harvey. I know how hard you work and how much you believe in what you are doing.
I believe you are in the right place at the right time, ahead of the curve, well positioned for the approaching tipping point ;)

JenniDahling 08-14-2008 09:44 AM

Congrats Harvey! You have definitely always been a pioneer in the mobile field!

Sean 08-14-2008 09:53 AM

very nice harvey

theharvman 08-14-2008 09:59 AM

Great to see the love from everyone I have had the pleasure of working with or becoming friends with over the years. This has been my baby for years and now as the proud Poppa I am here to share cigars and show her off!

gabrielu 08-14-2008 10:02 AM

Nice!
 
Congrats Harvey! Good luck going forward.

Dwreck 08-14-2008 10:10 AM

interesting concept and I know Harvey is a master of this niche. I would love to see how it all plays out.

theharvman 08-14-2008 10:15 AM

Thanks Dwrek we are taking this all the way I have invested 2 years of my life in to this and we won't even discuss the development $ But it is solid and we are really looking forward to getting Affiliates on board. No One is offering MobileTV right now and that is something we can offer with out a problem. The content is great and the site is easy to use what more can a surfer ask for?

Easton 08-14-2008 10:26 AM

well done Harv, good to see mobile porn making a comeback!

notime 08-14-2008 10:27 AM

bump 4u Harvey !

tranza 08-14-2008 10:33 AM

Looks good guys!!

:)

RuthB 08-14-2008 10:35 AM

sweet deal Harvey! :thumbsup:thumbsup

theharvman 08-14-2008 10:43 AM

Thanks guys we are really excited! About this and the uptake seems to be pretty good for Affiliate and Surfers alike.

JackieB 08-14-2008 10:48 AM

Nice one Harvey. We're in. Let's put a plan together to start rolling out services with you.

Too bloody right, but who's to say that someone won't be Harv?

For us, mobile has been the biggest growth sector for the past couple of years, and especially in the last 12 months, and I can only see things getting better and better as phones and networks improve, and legislation softens. We're already on portal with a couple of major networks in the UK and across Europe and the feedback I'm getting is that adult on mobile is going from strength to strength, and our revenues support that.

With regards to Harv, I can confidently say I haven't met another Yank who knows more about adult on mobiles, or has done so much with it, than him. He's been a pioneer now for a good number of years. :thumbsup Obviously there are plenty of good British lads who are just as experienced, but across the pond, Harv is the man. :winkwink:

Good luck with it mate, and glad to see someone over there is thinking about mobiles!

:pimp

Honez 08-14-2008 10:50 AM

Looks good! Congratulations on getting it launched.

theharvman 08-14-2008 10:59 AM

Hey Don that is great man thanks for the props. It is a long hard faught road and a lot of people have been burned by inexpirenced companies. And for the most part the networks were not able to support video in the states with any great degree of clairty.

Those time are gone and spankable content on moible is here to stay. Last month the US overtook the UK's #1 Spot for surfing on mobile devices. The average mobile surfer is spending 4.5hours a day on their phone and 72% of the searches done were for porn.

theharvman 08-14-2008 12:03 PM

Thanks Yo been a while you look great.

TheAmericanCannibal 08-14-2008 12:33 PM

Varius 08-14-2008 12:43 PM

Congrats on making the first page of XBiz, Harvey!

Laurel 08-14-2008 12:49 PM

Congrats Harv! I'm glad to see your little baby come alive. :)

magnatique 08-14-2008 01:07 PM

Good job on the new project harv :)

I think I am one of those that's known you from the beginning and I know you to be a very hard working individual and your focus is gold!

congrats on the first page!

theharvman 08-14-2008 01:13 PM

Hey Phil Thanks Man and your right we met close to 10 years ago! WOW it has been a long long time man! Looking forward to talking with you tomorrow. Take care till then.

theharvman 08-14-2008 01:44 PM
