PinkNews founder Ben Cohen's three part series on More4 on Britain's Dot.com decade began tonight on More 4 News.
"For anybody there from the word go - it's been an amazing journey from
bulky computers- through the euphoria of the dot.com boom, followed by
bust and eventual rebirth."
Tomorrow he tackles the impact of gay hookup sites like Gaydar on the gay community.
Those cheeky monkeys at Virgin have been making us smile here at PinkNews towers with their amusing adverts.
As you can see, one of the plugs for the Virgin mobile service in Canada pokes fun at the Hillary lady and her run for the White House in the shadow of Bubba, aka the 42nd President of the United States.
The other mocks the soon to be former Governator of New York, Eliot Spitzer.
He ran into trouble for paying ladies for sex.
And yes we checked, since the ascent of Schwarzenegger that is how you spell Governor. 
But here is the thing: Canadians, like Americans, call mobiles cell phones.
Right?
So Virgin Mobile must mean something totally different to them.
We thought in North America, Mobile either means a play thing you hang above a kid's cot or a city in Alabama!
Are we wrong, readers?
Whiling away the hours here at PinkNews.co.uk headquarters, one of our dedicated team of monkeys came across an intriguing site called newsstand.co.uk
One particular feature of the site appealed to us, namely that when viewing an entry for a magazine and considering buying it, newsstand.co.uk offers consumers a selection of other, related titles.
attitude, the estimable gay glossy with more resurrections than Lazarus, has some odd bedfellows, as you can see below.
While it is amusing to think that your average, style-conscious attitude reader also really digs Take A Break and Bella, the outlook for Mens Health is less rosy.
As you can see below, the only real question is, do any breeders actually read it? Why don't they just come out?
New York based blog Queerty is known for several things: an obsession with dodgy porn star Michael Lucas, an appreciation for the male form and a unique take on current affairs.
In its own words, it is free of an agenda, except that gay one.
Imagine our surprise to find, nestled among their numerous postings, an advert for singlemuslim.com, which as we all know is the UK's leading Muslim marriage service.
Apparently it is all the fault of Google ads, though a Queerty insider did say he thinks the Muslim gentleman in the picture is dishy! 
A new site has hit the web:
The tagline for the site is: “Lesbian Gamers.com - because sometimes we use our hands for other things.”
A spokeswoman for the site told us:
“There was no strictly lesbian gaming site online with such directness as lesbiangamers.com and we think it's going to be a huge success.
“It'll
also welcome contributions from lesbian gamers and hopes to encourage
discussion and friendship within our community. It's really important
for us as lesbian gamers to have somewhere safe and fun to hang out.”
The
site home page says: “If you're a lesbian gamer, or indeed interested
in lesbian gamers (tut tut) you'll find all your video gaming news,
with a little touch of dyke right here.
"If you're a grrl who loves
video games, whilst also loving the ladies, you've just found the right
place on the net.”
We knew one day it could happen - and now it has!
PinkNews.co.uk has made it onto fab n cheeky gossip site popbitch!
>> Pink pounding <<
Voters turn the air blue for Tories
What can the Tories do to convince people
they're all modern and inclusive now? Well,
they've been courting the gay vote on
pinknews.co.uk, pleading to advertise on
popbitch, and in Worcester they even selected
one of Britain's top erotic fiction writers,
Lisa Ventura, aka "Rose" to fight a council
by-election. Sadly Lisa lost a previously safe
seat. The party lost control of the council.
And poor Lisa's website, eroticfiction.org -
blamed for her defeat - is currently shut.
And Lisa lives in... Beaver Close.
See - told you it was cheeky!
Britney Spears has had a lot of trouble lately and her performance at the MTV Music Video Awards was a bit naff. But one Chris Crocker has made a video to defend her.
Complete with a number of queeny hissy fits, the video message has been viewed almost 8 million times.
Just in case you haven't seen this instant Youtube classic, it's posted below but be warned it does contain some bad language.
Thanks to Queerty.com for bringing this clip to our attention.
It seems one of Britney Spears' more vocal fans has reacted badly to her embarassing performance at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this week.
19-year-old Chris, who describes himself as Queen of the Ghetto, has this to say:
"The name is Chris. Chris Crocker. The game is positivity. I believe the
best way to educate and spread positivity is through entertainment,
which translates to edutainment. Which just so happens to be my
specialty."
This Britney rant has been viewed more than 3.5 MILLION TIMES!

Those nice people at US website gaywheels.com have produced a list of the cars their readers are most interested in.
They searched their sever logs and found out that gay motorists can't get enough of the Toyota Yaris. Make of that what you will.
The full top 10:
1. Toyota Yaris
2. Saab 9-3 (sedan and convertible)
3. Mazda MX-5
4. Volkswagen Jetta
5. VW EOS
6. Dodge Caliber
7. Toyota Camry
8. Audi A3
9. VW Rabbit
10. Infiniti FX
Here at PinkNews.co.uk, our favourite car is a taxi.
Gaywheels.com made the following sober assessment of the Yaris:
"The 2007 Yaris continues Toyota's tradition of offering affordable, reliable cars over a wide range of the automotive market, and it represents a big leap forward in styling over its ancestor, the Echo.
"A four-door sedan is available in base and S trims, with the S adding a 60/40 split rear seat, a rear defroster, and a stereo system with a CD player.
"A three-door hatchback is equipped similarly to the S, except with daytime running lights, different instrumentation, and a shorter wheelbase.
"It also lays claim to being the least expensive Toyota sold in America. Both the three- and four-door models use a 1.5L four-cylinder engine that is tuned more for economy than power. The car's 106 horsepower do an adequate job of acceleration."
S trims? 6o/40 split? What?
LEAST expensive? Economic? "Adequate" acceleration? What is going on?
"Power conveniences, remote keyless entry, anti-lock brakes, air bags all around, an alarm system, and a rear spoiler are available, as are a number of post production options."
Aaah accessories. That's more like it!
Village Drinks, the popular social networking group for professional gay and lesbian Londoners, has spruced up its website.
Now, as well as meeting interesting and attractive people at their drinks events, Village Drinks officianados can stay in touch with people they meet through the website and upload a free personal profile and picture - clean ones!
There are currently more than 4,000 gay and lesbian professionals in London on their books.
Neil Spring, the smartly-dressed young man behind Village Drinks, told us how excited he is about the new site:
"People are sick and tired of stuffy, pretentious networking events. It was time for a change. People want to meet new people and they want fun.
"We also believe that communication with our peers should be a right; not a privilege; so we aren’t charging people to access the site and network online.
"It may not be the most sophisticated site in the world; but it reflects our ideals; to meet new people and to have fun."
Neil also revealed that VD are launching regular events in Manchester and Brighton later this year.
In the meantime, the London summer party is on 26th July at the CC Club. Details on the website.
Gays on chat website Thingbox have been avidly watching this video.
Not sure why it's relevant to the LGBT community other than it shows the dangers of reproduction and why break dancing isn't something many queens do.
Don't hit play unless you really want to.
Some Germans have paid some Americans $500,000 for the rights to the domain name gays.com
Julius and David Dreyer sold the domain to internet entrepreneurs in Germany. At the moment gays.com has the intriguing image, pictured above, of two grown men in bed with eachother. Disgusting.
It seems clear they are going to cash in on more of the fabled "pink pound."
