Porn loses out to social networking

According to Broadstuff searches for porn online are declining as people take to social networking. Alan Patrick is sceptical:

“I’d argue that the pornification of our culture over the last 10 years, and the sort of stuff some people are putting up on their SocNet pages makes it largely unnecessary to hunt down peek-a-boo pornsites”

But either way it is an encouraging sign that not all growth on the Internet is driven by drivel or base instincts. If people are making their own porn then that is at least citizen creativity in action.
