Did anyone notice the AVN article today (http://avn.com/index.cfm?objectid=8144ED90-C22B-9D6B-9283F17356C15341), seems like Pistol Media / Gunsblazing is taking over Twinks.com!
Interesting.. certainly a move into a different market for them.
From what I remember of Twinks.com its a fairly big site but most of the content or majority of it is pictures.

hmmm... it is a huge change, and i wonder what pistol media's management of twinks.com will entail. they probably don't have much experience in the twinks market, but on the other hand they do have experience with affiliate programs.

Twinks.com use to be called boyboy I believe and was one of the first sites that I marketed. At the time they had just about everything MiamiStudios put out. Yes, at that time I was on dialup and it took 5 min to download one pic (they were that big). The site totally lost its charm after it became Twinks.com and became real hard to sell.
Kudos to Pistol Media.

Wow! That is a huge left turn for a company known for raw hard bodied MEN....wonder how that will work...but perhaps they are looking at it as a way to expand their market to another segment....but what worries me is that the markets have two distinctly different set of appeals..... just hope the management understands the differences or they could end up messing up a good thing.

Wow! I'm really shocked by this. Brian will stick his hands in anything, won't he? :)
I wish them luck. It'll be interesting to see how this works out. The Gunz sites have always sold well for me before, so I guess I may be trying some more twink action.

i remember seeing another "real man" program do this. they figured there is a lot more twink traffic - which there is - so it was worth having. my twink traffic converts a lot worse than real man traffic, whoever. still, if you want to jump into the biggest niche in gay porn, twink would probably be it.
