A selective group of Adult Webmasters crowded the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay last night for the 3rd annual XBiz Awards, and one can only say that there was something special about the evening, not just for the winners. There was a palpable sense of community in the room, a coming together if you will, that was forcefully articulated by Host Jim Holio in his culminating rant of the evening, when he expressed what a lot of online Adult entrepreneurs feel: that they are cultural/business pioneers affecting society for the better at potential significant risk to themselves. Whatever one thinks about that, it’s a powerful idea that reinforces a sense of common purpose and direction.
