Northstar Productions has
announced the launch of SiN2.0,
which the company describes as the world's first social media site dedicated to
sex information. The site, which was unveiled at Internext 2007, aims
to revolutionize how people find information about sex.
SiN2.0's creators said the
site compares to Digg, YouTube and MySpace, in terms of news
discovery, video content and social networking, respectively. The site allows users,
or "SINNERS," to find and add content to their personal profiles, browse user-submitted
articles, connect with friends through a "Black Book," recommend content and engage in discussions through content
posts.
"Everyone is curious about
sex, from the health sector to the adult-entertainment
industry veteran, but getting these very diverse groups of individuals together
in the same room is impossible," said Jason B. Hart, president of Northstar
Productions. "SiN2.0 does something that has never
been done before by creating a place for those people to learn from each other
in virtual conversations, giving them a place to share information with
like-minded communities."
SiN2.0
offers its community four main features:
Social Networking - Each article on
SiN2.0 has an indicator showing what other users think of it. SINNERS
can engage in discussions about the subjects that interest them.
Community Contribution - SINNERS can share information related
to their interests and those of like-minded users.
Content Discovery - SiN2.0 aims to make it easy
for users to find the information they want, since content recommendations come
from their friends or colleagues.
Friendly Competition - SINNERS compete to post the
most relevant news, according to the community's vote. Contributions to the
community - such as news posts, comments or votes - earn points, or Sins, which
are tracked on the SCOREboard. SiN2.0 will also run special promotions for the
biggest SINNERS.
"We
know this is a useful service and a potentially extremely powerful tool," said
Gabriel Carrejo, vice president of Northstar Productions. "We're very
excited about the seemingly endless opportunities SiN2.0 can provide to both
information consumers, business owners and anyone in between."
