The Picticon Offers a New Look

NEW YORK – Edge Interactive Publishing has announced the release of a "new look" for its venerable website, the Picticon.

New features include a widening of the screen to HDTV size; unique visuals on each page; stacked internal links on the pages; enhanced "previous/next" controls; "smart placement" software and more.

The updates appear in both the full preview pages as well as the member's area.

The first area that showcases the new look is Picticon's collection of Japanese glamour which features almost 200 model-scenes and more than 10,000 pictures.

"We want to give our surfers a more rich experience — something that has value," Edge designer Kathy Hayes said. "There is so much free porn out there that we feel we need to give the surfer more value — and so we are making the surfing experience enjoyable, classy, interesting, and fun."

"That's why we've gone wider, bigger, bolder, more colorful, and more 'clicky,'" Hayes said. "By 'clicky" I mean the sidebars — these are links which reflect the surfer into different regions of the Picticon. They are programatically displayed based on the keywords in our database — in other words they relate to the scene."

For example, in the Japanese pages, there is a lot of teasy material — bikinis, lingerie, beaches, and hose and so on — so the skyscrapers enable the surfer to jump off in those directions," Hayes added. "Our brand new 'smart placement' software fits different size banners onto the page depending upon the page depth and relative importance of the niche. It's all about making the surfing experience easier and more fun."

According to the company, Picticon is a 2257 compliant product.

Webmasters may license any of the content from its 6500 pages, utilize the Picticon as a plug-in anywhere in a website, contract for any one of 200 custom niche-oriented websites, snake the content into their pages, or form traffic relationships with Edge.
