WantedList Featured in November Wired

VAN NUYS, Calif. – With the words "The NetFlix of Porn" on the cover and a four-page spread within its Nov., 2005 issue, Wired Magazine has heralded WantedList with an exclusive profile and detailed account on the company and its two owners, Anh Tran and Danny Ting.

The article, titled "Skin City," goes in-depth into the business of online adult DVD rentals, and the history of the company that Tran and Ting created.

"It's not the career path Ting and Tran expected," the article begins. "Five years ago, they were Silicon Valley tech consultants, working at Arthur Andersen for clients like Intel, Brio Technology and Southern California Edison. Today, they have a warehouse and office space in the San Fernando Valley."

The article goes on with an in-depth profile about the company's history, their lives prior to creating WantedList, the company's initial launch and the future on online rentals. The story will be available at newsstands and will be online on Oct. 31 at Wired.com.
