Sex Arrives On Twitter

Twitter has become known for it’s crazy and crude followers, such as toilets that tweeted people’s bowel movements, and a farting chair. Now a new Twitter account, Twitt Sex allows users to sign up and check out pornographic tweets.

Claiming to be the adult version of Twitter, Twitt Sex allows users to share explicit content on the site, from photos to porn sites, and these tweets will appear in other user’s streams. Currently, the site is in the early stages (only 2 people have accounts and it seems no-one can create one yet), despite their Terms and Conditions dated from August 3rd 2007. More curiously, the T&C’s reference a “twittr.com”, despite older versions of Twitter being known as “Twttr.com”.

Twitter is already littered with spam of a sexual nature.

Sex has always been a popular topic within communication technology, such as phone sex and various forms of porn sites, but the time it has taken for someone to create an explicit site through Twitter seems slow off the mark, and will possibly now only increase the amount of sexually natured spam accounts on Twitter, despite the official Twitter status blog promising crackdowns. How long it takes before the accounts behind this site are targeted is yet to be seen, but we’re guessing it won’t be long.

First we had YouTube and then the adult equivalent of Xtube and many others. It wasn’t long before an adult version of Twitter showed up, as your rightfully mention.

My question is whether this service will actually become popular with users, as I was reading that the adult “tubes” are having problems keeping up ad revenue and visitor numbers.
