Image of Dana A from this Met Art gallery. A long, *long* time ago I wrote an article for AVN Online about what a smart, business-savvy porn version of Flickr would look like, relying on peer-to-peer social media structures to make a personalized user experience and foster brand loyalty, and yes, community.
