Badpuppy
Enterprises, Inc. and WhatEver
Productions are proud to announce the operations merger of GayToday
news and the GayPhilly
website. GayToday is one of the oldest gay news content providers
on the internet and serves approximately 15,000 subscribers. |
Bill Pinyon remains publisher
and managing editor, and long time civil rights activist Jack Nichols will
maintain stewardship of senior editorial duties. GayPhilly's Carter Burnette
will oversee the production of news delivery systems.
As part of this effort, web
interfaces were designed that are ergonomic in nature and facilitate faster
download times. Articles pop into a smaller interface window which
overlays the menu page. Because the screen is smaller, readers always retain
access to the menu page by clicking onto the lower level. Print functionality
was also included.
Badpuppy began as a BBS in
May 1994 and became incorporated in November 1995. Badpuppy was developed
as a one stop for gay and lesbian information on the internet. It is comprised
of 37 contributor sites, the largest network of gay content and provides
the following services: chat rooms, discussion forums, travel information,
news, and soft porn.. The GayToday news division furnishes news,
current events, reviews, medical information, cultural, and other items
of interest to gay and lesbian people.
GayPhilly is Philadelphia's
online resource for the Delaware Valley's gay community. In it's short
tenure, GayPhilly has been awarded two site awards for excellence.
It features a business directory, bar & restaurant listings, an arts
guide, pride programming and personals. The arts guide features a
repository of artists which highlights the works of local gay artists of
all disciplines.
The GayToday website is located
at http://www.badpuppy.com/gaytoday.
Badpuppy is a privately held corporation valued at $4 million which utilizes
a new age philosophy. It's corporate culture features a nurturing, not
fear motivated management style that is non exploitative to consumers,
employees and profits and results in longevity, commitment and loyalty.
The streamlined look and
user interface mirror Badpuppy's motto of:
Better,
Faster and More Substantial ...
That
Is The Only Way It Will Be
