Site administration is a lonely task. Just ask Ladd Bosworth, Connexion's head of marketing. "Just because you work for a gay 'social networking site' doesn't mean that you get all the hot guys," he says. "I mean, sure, I hook up all the time like everybody
else, but boyfriends? No so much."
You'd think that being on Connexion 8 hours a day 5 days a week would present opportunities for administrators undreamed of by all but the most sophisticated stalkers, but not so says Brandon, long term Connexion employee and top notch ColdFusion programmer. "I mean, I do get to chat all the time. And I don't even have to hide the window when Tim [Connexion president] comes over. But it doesn't get me anywhere!" According to Brandon most of his "chats" are with people trying to install Flash on their PlayStation or whining about
their penis pics being removed.
Indeed, a full two thirds of Connexion employees are currently single - not what you'd expect from a gay dating site. But it didn't start out that way (see chart). Perhaps it's the market downturn but spring is coming and love is in the air. So if you know someone that's looking for love, we know one place to start.
