I've been wanting to build a niche video/picture site for a while (to deal with all the CDN/scaling issues involved myself), and I've also been looking for a project I can use this Programming Collective Intelligence book on.

Adult seems to be a good next project for me. The only initial unknown I can think of would be where content would come from unless it's user-supplied. Any other links/info/thoughts?

Several years ago I thought about building something in the adult market (never got to it). Your best bet is to go to the adult webmaster's board: http://gfy.com If you're looking for affiliate programs, if I recall correctly, they gave you tons of content for free.

Anyway... hope this helps - good luck!

Thanks for the link and suggestions!
Content is licensable. If you join affiliate programs you get sample content to use for free, too.

Don't get into user-generated - too many legal and ethical issues.

I've seen some pretty disturbing content uploaded to even sites about video games... this is definitely good advice. Thanks for the tips.

aren't all the niches filled?
Is this a play on words?
Ask there: http://www.gfy.com. It's the largest adult industry board. A lot of content producers do business there.
Great, thanks for the link!
