At Kingston Beta last night, a bunch of us got to talking about the amazing profits being made by Jamaican porn sites such as smutvibes.com and rudejam.com. So one of my table mates dreamed up a domain name for his potential site. It was pantydrop.com. Thinking this is a very uniquely Jamaican way of a saying, he figured it would have been available. A check via whois.net revealed that it’s being sold on Sedo.com for….ahmm US$10,000. LOL.

We wrote a post yesterday based on one of those shhh I’m telling this only to you type emails we got which suggested that Smutvibes.com a vibrant naughty site started by an entrepreneurial Jamaican was up for sale. Since then the actual owner responded to the post by saying…Smutvibes.com is not for sale.
He continued by adding: “In no way, shape or form are we selling SmutVibes. The website is still in it’s infancy and this part of the market is unsaturated and we will be taking full advantage of it.”

Ok I know a pretty strange pairing of companies and sale information but why not. I heard about the sale of both of them through the grapevine. I was told that Call the Planet the Internet Phone Company (Consumer and Business VOIP) is up for sale, the company which launched in Jamaica less than 5 years ago and had investments of over US$5 Million in infrastructure,has not been doing well this past year and is now trying to cut their losses, sell out and retreat from the market.
