In an ingenious linkage of new free internet technologies, a new web site is combining the services of the “traditional” social networking system… with the new power of free SMS group cell phone text messaging provided by another free service called Twitter.
The site, called HottestMales.com, offers — all totally for free — a combination of services competing directly with the gay mega-sites… like Manhunt.net and Gay.com Chat.
The site’s founder, Michael Young, says, “Those mega sites are making millions of dollars off of the gay community, and providing terribly lame services. This is 2008, and they are using systems that have been considered poor for years. Our site is based on the state-of-the-art in internet technology. We didn’t reinvent the wheel. That’s why we’re growing faster than those sites, by far.”
“Ever since the news broke that the founder of Manhunt has been donating large sums of money to the John McCain for President campaign…. And that Gay.com has been experiencing terrible service outages… our membership has been doubling every week.”
“Manhunt and Gay.com have millions of members. Manhunt charges its members $12.00/month, and Gay.com charges its members $19.95/month… However, every feature of HottestMales.com is completely free. And, beyond that, it is also free of all advertising.”
The rapid growth rate of Twitter, worldwide, has caused some challenges for Twitter, but as far as we can see it’s going to be around for the foreseeable future.
The new concept of using it for gay sexual hookups and dating is only going to fuel the fire of tremendous growth of both — Twitter and HottestMales.com.
