Great perspectives. However, I wonder minority wise where do some of us fit?

Blackplanet.com was a start but then some left after a year or two (1999)Net Noir was there in the beginning but I have not kept up (1997).That is the same with Black Voices (1997).

Everyone I met minority wise when I first became acquainted with the online world has not found a community for themselves anymore. Some tend to create own networks from schools before even face book was thought about.

I worked with BET's (when it was known as msbet.com) first website in 1997 so it was interesting to see how that entire community has evolved. I do not follow it like I used to but I know a lot of teenagers enjoy the site for their gossip.

What ever truly happened to Asian Avenue?

I see that

Know what would be a cool? A plug-in that modifies top internal messaging systems (e.g. Facebook's Messaging system) and let's you see all your emails and messages from all your favorite email clients, social networks and misc. other services with inside of each other.

Maybe not actually, but I wonder would it would take to make emails and messages portable in addition to more standard content. Probably a greasemonkey-like toolbar that scrapes and aggregates it all wherever you go.

You spelled my name wrong Nicole.

Great response though. I can't deny that sometimes politics and money can make the situation more complicated. Thanks for pointing out those things from a corporate perspective.
