Associations is here – BETA

We’re happy to announce our newest search functionality, Associations. We wanted to give our pic posters the ability to “tag” their photos as well as visitors the ability to search photos based on tags. The traditional route would have been to create a section where you add tags or keywords for each of your pics. What happens with this approach is every pic is tagged with every word for boob for example (tits, melons, boobs, breasts, etc.).  With this approach the search results come up with almost every pic in our system which doesn’t do a lot of good for anyone. We decided to take the Twitter approach and make pics searchable via hashtags. Now when you post a pic with us and use a #hashtag in your picture caption those hashtags will be searchable.

For example take this pic http://mypornprofile.com/profile/photos/3834/56385 which has the caption “my #Superbowl cockdog yummy”. If you click on the hashtag word #Superbowl you will see all pics that have the keyword #Superbowl in the picture caption. It’s a lot better approach then if the user added keywords such as dick, penis, etc.

Using this approach there won’t be a million keywords associated with a pic. Only the relevant keywords associated with the pic will be used in the pic caption. This will allow for much improved real-time search results.

We didn’t stop there, @usernames will now be clickable/searchable also. If a pic caption has the username of the people in the pic those usernames will be clickable. By clicking on the username you can see all other pics on the site where that user is mentioned.

For example take this pic http://mypornprofile.com/profile/photos/859/56351 from Kimora Klein. In the pic caption she writes “Me and @SaraJayXXX chillin’ in bed all day. #boobs“. If you click @SaraJayXXX you will be able to see all the pics where @SaraJayXXX is mentioned. In addition if the @user has a profile with us you will see their profile at the top of the search results page. Oh yeah, in this example you can also click on the words #boobs to see all the pics that mention #boobs.

If that wasn’t good enough we went one step further. If there is a URL in the picture caption, yup you guessed it, you can click on the link. No longer do you have to copy and paste the link into a browser if you want to check out the site. We make it easy for you.

As you can see our new Associations search functionality gives you many options to search from pic to pic and see amazing results. Currently Associations is in beta while we tweak a few things. Throughout the year we will continue to improve Associations and make more areas of the site searchable so you can easily find the content you’re looking for.

What improvements and additions do you want to see?

Our goal is to be the #1 social pic sharing site in the adult industry. This includes everyone from pornstars to cam girls to the amateur that likes to take tit pics. We plan on making improvements to our service and tools this year and we want your feedback. If you’re a current user of our pic sharing service let us know what improvements you would like to see. If you use another pic sharing service let us know what improvements we could make so that you switch over to using our service. Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Use the comment section below to leave your feedback.

iPhone App Horizontal Issue

Thanks to the help of our users we now know what’s causing skewed images that are posted via the iPhone app. The issue is with pictures taken holding the phone horizontally. The issue does not effect pictures taken vertically. We are currently working on a fix and will let you know when an updated version of the app is available. Until then keep those phones vertical when taking pics.

Note: this is only effecting the iphone app and no the android app

It’s time for #nakedtebowing

The Denver Broncos and New England Patriots will be playing Saturday night at 8PM (EST) in an AFC Divisional Playoff game. One of the major headlines of the game will be Denver’s quarterback Tim Tebow playing in only his second playoff game. As many of you know Tebow has risen to superstar status this season for getting the Bronco’s to the playoffs. His unconventional style of play and deep religious beliefs have made him a sports figure that everyone is talking about.

One of the trademarks of Tim Tebow is when he prays or “tebows” after a score or a win. Tebowing has become a national phenomemon and you see everyone doing it from the average joe to celbrities. In case you’re one of the few who haven’t seen the famous tebowing position here it is:

All day Saturday, with your help, we’re going to blow up Twitter with our own tribute to Tebow. We are going to have #nakedtebowing. I encourage all of you to post pictures of your topless, bottomless or nude tebowing. When you tweet out your pic make sure to include the hashtag #nakedtebowing.

If you don’t have our iphone or android app now would be a good time to download it. You can find the links on our homepage. If you don’t have an app supported phone you can use our email solution. Details of how to use the email solution can be found in the FAQ page after you’ve logged in.

With everyone’s participation and fan retweets lets see if we can get #nakedtebowing trending this Saturday!

Profile Page Refresh is Here!

The new profile page that I teased last month is now LIVE! Here are a few of the major highlights:

- General profile info and links now appear on the left column at all times.

- The live Twitter feed has been removed. To show the link to your Twitter page add it as a “Blog” in your bio section. I would suggest putting the text as simply Twitter.

- Websites & blogs bio section has been updated to display the name of your websites and blogs instead of the entire link (ie. http://mysexysite.com will show something like MySexySite). You have the choice to call your links whatever you want. Login to your admin page to make the updates. Note: during the refresh some links were lost so I encourage everyone to login and check.

- You now have a “wall”. This is where you can post announcements and interact directly with people on your profile page. To ensure that your announcements (ie original posts) do not get lost we’ve implemented a toggle button. Click your name on the upper right side and you and others will only see posts that you started.

Those are the major highlights. I’m sure you’ll see others when browsing through your new profile page. I hope you enjoy the refresh and I welcome any feedback or bugs you may encounter.

I encourage all of you to use this profile refresh as a time to look over your profile and brush it up if you haven’t updated it in awhile.
