Everyone loves to follow Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), particularly ahead of its big investor and developer conferences. And if you track the top website rankings of the top 100 and top 1,000 overall websites by popularity, you know that if it isn’t everyone loving porn it is a large percentage of the online population. Sometimes the old notion of “No PR Is Bad PR” might not apply. But maybe it does. You probably won’t find Steve Jobs or other Apple executives at this event, but a company called iPorn is hosting an “un-Official After Party” for next week’s Apple iPhone World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC).

The Worldwide Developer Conference itself is taking place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco from June 8 to June 10. This iPorn event isn’t taking place there, and we aren’t going to publish anything else on it either.

It is no surprise, but skin sells online as well. This iPorn group claims to be one of the fastest-growing iPhone user communities on the web. The group also plans to announce the release of the new iPorn mobile site with near-perfect resolution playback to the iPhone and iPod over a 2G, 3G, or WiFi network. iPorn is actually one of the companies that was backed by that venture capital and private investor group called AdultVest that allows individuals, groups, companies, and more to invest in the adult-themed and porn industry.

Sorry for not putting links or locations on this one, but it isn’t exactly the sort of financial news we routinely cover.
