Sexual Deviants Living In A Web 2.0 World

If I remember correctly it is just over a year ago when we first launched FriendsWithFetishes.com (FWF). The original idea behind FWF was to help kinksters find other kinksters who they had fetishes in common with.

Who am I kidding with this marketing talk. I pretty much created FWF because I was extremely horny with many fetishes I needed to act on and many more I still wanted to try. The problem was I was not sure their were any girls out their that had the same perverted ways as me. Like a female John. Let me rephrase that, I knew their were girls out their who had the same fetishes as me but they were far and few between and I was not sure how many slaps I could take before just giving up asking. So I figured, their must be a better way and I created FWF.

I have to admit that before launching FWF I knew nothing about the Fet community. I had never been to an event or meet anyone who was involved in the community. It was just me and my sick perverted fetishes :-).

As I was launching FWF I was lucky enough to meet EmJ. She pretty much took me under her wings and introduced me to the Fet community in Toronto. She took me to large parties held at clubs as well as private parties held in people’s homes. I loved all of it. It was like their was another world out their that I never knew existed.

During this time I got the opportunity to meet a lot of great people and learn about the community, relationships, interaction and how it all kind of works. All the things I learnt resulted in me having to re-think everything about FWF.

All the things I learned from EmJ and her friends resulted in FWF 2.0 and we are planning on launching it in the next 7-14 days.

Our elevator pitch for FWF is:

FriendsWithFetishes is like Facebook except for the fact it is being build and run by sexual deviants.

Ok… now what does that mean for FWF? I am a big list guy so this is my Top 10 list for changes in FWF… but their is man more then just 10.

1. FWF is becoming a closed community. The only way to join is if a member invites you. We are going to seed FWF 2.0 to all members of FWF 1.0, Fet event organizers, Fet bloggers and anyone one else we discover is trustworthy and active in the community. This results in a tighter knit community that will reflect existing local communities.

2. It is all about your Friends. We are going to put a lot of emphasis on your relationship with people. Like Facebook you will be able to specify who your friends are and because of the relationship be able to easily keep up to date with what they are doing.

3. Get A Fet Feed. Mini-feeds are addictive. See what pictures your friends have uploaded from recent events, see what fetishes they have become curious about or into and who they have recently became friends with. Keep a pulse on your fetish community in between events.

4. Improved fetish listings. Now you don’t only say if you are into or curious about a fetish but you can specify, to a certain extent, what aspect of the fetish you are into. For instance are you into giving or receiving a spanking or are you just into everything with respect to spanking.

5. EMail Notifications. If you get a message from another member of FWF you will be notified via email. Now I have no excuse for not responding to messages much quicker. Damm… this sucks!

6. Improved Interface. Yeah, your right, improved interface does sound like a bogus improvement. But it is not, soon as you try the new FWF I think you will like how it feels.

And this is just the start.
