It's been almost a year since I wrote this and it seems like Blackbird has taken some of these suggestions to heart. I wonder what their usage is like now.

I think it is innovate and useful and it is not racist. I do a lot of research on the internet and I do find when you are doing a search on specific key words like African American owned, Black owned and Blacks in technology not a whole lot comes up and you really have to dig for it.

For example I was doing a search on Blacks in Technology and I was like in 20 pages before I stumbled upon Blackbird. I think just like when Mozilla and Chrome launched it had kinks and bugs that were able to be worked out and I think Blackbird will do the same.

Like most, I use more than one browser and I think this will become very when I searching for Black and African American content. Also, they are at 100,000 downloads and may have surpassed that by now. Once 100,000 becomes 100 million or even when they hit 1 million downloads. The story and the conversation will change.

I have used BlackBird for 2 months then I uninstalled it. The RSS FEED will not let you edit or add even thought on there webpage it tells you that you can. There is not much support and when I emailed the problems and screen shoots of problem got no response back.

It would be nice if they would listen to some feed back and correct the issues. If not I fear they will not get much past were they are at.

I'm glad your keeping tabs on Blackbird. I haven't downloaded it, but I'm keeping it on the back burner to see how things progress.

I have to agree with the the previous comment, I was very curious to download and become an active participant of the browers so long as I had access to all sites of interest to me on the internet. What I found was after having downloaded the browser it seemed to slow my brand new computer down and freeze alot? Unlike having Google Chrome run on my same system with Internet Explorer, couldn't understand the complication for a new computer with still sufficient memory and/or hard drive space.

Finally, I agree with the author of the above article with regard to limiting your audience by only being able to navigate the browser if it's downloaded you should be able to peruse a browser without having to go through the process to download it first and if you don't you cannot have access to most sites from your network?

I downloaded Blackbird browser a few months ago and I had trouble viewing video content from my site, including youtube. I haven't been back. I do wish them success though; however I didn't have time to work out the kinks so I left.
