As some of you might know, a dynamic young African-American Internet duo,
Rob and Roz Rucker have created a brand new search engine and portal site
called The BlackWebPortal.
The site is designed with African-Americans in mind. Right now their
viewership is the low thousands. They need to cross the hundreds of
thousands barrier to have any real chance of keeping this site online at all.
Some of you are thinking...why does it matter?
It matters because BlackVoices is wholly owned by the Tribune Company;
Black Families by Cox Communications; BlackPlanet.com by an Asian company;
and Soul City HBO by AOL-Times/Warner.
The BlackWebPortal is the only
site that is 100% African-American owned.
The BlackWebPortal needs all of us to start emailing our friends, relatives,
etc., all over the world to start using the resources at the BlackWebPortal.
The important thing is that they need the help getting the word out about this
site.
Let's help this site out by visiting and seeing what they have to offer.
So please tell EVERYONE about the Black Web Portal.
Don't just bookmark it for yourself. Spread the news!
This is a new millennium! We must begin truly supporting black technology
efforts in the same way we cheer on our movie and athletic stars.
If we don't, they'll end up having to do the same as other black web sites by getting assistance from elsewhere, thereby losing the original flavor they have.
PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD! BlackWebPortal
