Fleshbot

Fleshbot, an erotica-oriented weblog, the latest would-be commercial blog offering from Gawker Media, went live today. The homepage, appearing at left, was surprisingly screenshot friendly. Gawker Media CEO Nick Denton appeared on my Business Blog panel at last week's AdTech conference, and I was nervous about whether the site would be sanitized enough to show to the audience. Fortunately, the Internet connection wasn't working during the panel, so the question was moot.

UPDATE:
Nick tells me that so far today, the site is averaging 12,000 page views an hour. He says, "Well, it is porn — so one shouldn't be so surprised."
