Cybersocket Magazine Chooses New Editor-In-Chief

Los Angeles, CA (Cybersocket News) – After an exhaustive national search, Cybersocket magazine, America’s largest freely-distributed gay magazine, has selected Japhy Grant as its new Editor-In-Chief, replacing Darren Frei, who is joining The Out Traveler as Associate Editor.

Recently relocated from New York City, Japhy Grant brings to Cybersocket a fresh vision of what the net can offer the gay community.  He has written for “Wired News”, “GayWired”, “The Washington Square News” and recently directed an upcoming television series on America’s gaming subcultures for G4techTV.  “Gay consumers are some of the savviest readers out there.  They’re always one step ahead of the trends”, says Grant. “I love the challenge of bringing them the best of the web in a way that’s entertaining and informative.”

Cybersocket LLC, now in its seventh year of business, has continued to pioneer the forging of gay and lesbian website search tools into extremely useful publications. Continuing to introduce new products and services each year has led to their spectacular growth and expansion.

The company publishes Cybersocket.com, a search engine, Cybersocket: The Gay Net Directory, an annual guide with over 2,000 gay and lesbian site reviews, the printed Cybersocket Web Magazine, and the Cybersocket E-Newsletters.  Two separate e-newsletters targeting both Web professionals and Web surfers.
