Pornhub Offers To Buy Vine Because 'Six Seconds Is More Than Enough' (cnet.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNET: Earlier on Thursday Twitter announced it was ending Vine's short run, and the adult site was quick to come to the rescue -- maybe. In a letter from Pornhub VP Corey Price to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey that was shared with CNET, Price lays out the rationale: "We figure since Twitter has dropped (Vine) and is having significant layoffs, that you and your stakeholders could benefit from a cash infusion from the sale of Vine. Not to mention we would be saving Vine gems like 'Damn Daniel,' 'Awkward Puppets' and many more." Pornhub also promises to "restore Vine to Its NSFW glory," saying that clips "of porn in six seconds is more than enough time for most people to enjoy themselves." Unless pointing out a company's recent hardships in a letter and sharing it with a reporter is the latest Silicon Valley negotiating tactic, it seems pretty clear that the offer is a tongue-in-cheek jab at Twitter and its decision to shutter the video looping platform that has caused so much joy and often humiliation. But who knows, maybe Twitter will be willing to deal with Pornhub.
Maybe if they can figure out the part that everyone skips ahead to
They aren't going to buy it, and BeauHD is a fucking moron.
No, seriously, how is he still employed? He picks the worst fucking articles; why not replace him with an algorithm?
After 4 minutes of commercials?
wow.. I guess when you get the real thing 6 seconds does not cut it. wow. they must be referring to a 6 second clip that loops for 15 seconds. even then.. after repeating 6 times it gets pretty old. I guess I am very lucky I married my girl.
There are some companies that just truly get #socialmedia.
Well, Vine probably didn't make money. But how do sites like Pornhub make money anyway? Just with ads?
That would be the worst decision pornhub could make. The first year or so of vine was filled with underage teens posting porn vines. That's something that would likely unravel pornhub once the law starts cracking down on it.
$10.99 a moive with only about 6 sec of sex it in
DON LEMON REPORTING
Ignoring the companies involved in this particular case, I've always found it odd how tech companies are so willing to simply drop products that they don't want to support any more rather than trying to sell them or spin them off.
Google is particularly bad at this -- they've abandoned so many promising products that it's sometimes hard to justify using their other tools simply because I can't be sure it'll still be around this time next year.
In a lot of these cases, there are plenty of people who still want to use the product that's been dropped, so even if the original company doesn't want it any more, there are surely better options than just killing it off.
but not enough time for me. Come on, you need to make love to yourself....The most amazing part of porn is when you are done, you can completely change subjects and do any task. But seriously, if you can, try to get the real thing. Especially if you have somebody. =)
That may seem steep but think about the quality of porn you're getting for $10.99 opposed to waiting 40+ minutes to download a single low-rez gif from the McHenry BBS back in the day. Every frame of that glorious movie is a steal compared to the time saved!
Because I'm Generation X and it takes a lot more than 6 seconds.
They post some free samples that cut off just before the money shot [...] 6 seconds really isn't enough, unless they happen to have a LOT of goats.
They could call the site GoatsECX: Every Clip Extended.
The average sexual intercourse consists of just over 100 "roundtrips". There is no stats available for solitary sex, as far as I know, but it is unlikely to be immensely higher. The bulk of porn nowadays is delivered in small doses. Lots of them.
lucm, indeed.
If you had watched Apple's Keynote yesterday you would have seen it coming. Twitter are going in a very different direction with video.
Also, "six seconds is more than enough"? Damn Jack, talk about premature quotes.
Coming soon to a website near you.
Nope, no sig
So at first, I was checking my calendar to see if it was April 1st. ... Nope. Ok, so from a serious perspective, Vine caters to a huge demographic of underaged people with witty and goofy banter. Children as young as 8 or 9 participate on Vine. ... So why exactly do we think it's a good idea for a porn company to take over this online service???

Did this guy take too much viagra or something?
Kevin Nealon: I was interested at first... then got more interested... Then very interested... Then very interested... Then very, very interested... Then suddenly... not that interested.
But then Nealon “reviews” a gay porn movie, All About Jeff, featuring a cassette with a picture of gay porn star Jeff Stryker:
Kevin Nealon: I was horrified, disgusted... somewhat interested, interested... very interested, then suddenly embarrassed, disgusted with myself, ashamed."
And men wonder why women are unsatisfied.
Six Seconds Is More Than Enough
Worst pick-up line - ever.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Ugh, now all I can think about is rigging up some sort of hardware solution to log said roundtrips. Hall effect sensor perhaps? I feel like this might not go over well with the significant other..."but, it's for science!"

Find a woman who enjoys a guy who counts during sex.
If Sheldon and Amy would get it on, Sheldon would surely keep count and could report the results. (Of course, there's more than one reason that isn't going to really happen!)
Oh boy, if there's anything the big porn portals can do other than providing porn of course, is to bring some laughs for the most random piece of current news. That and host content that is being banned everywhere else.
It's the part where she gets choked and then the money shot.
