    Interesting list. I'm keeping an eye on eVIPlist. I'll have to check out the rest. Thanks.

    eVIP is the black digg, except you're guaranteed face time on the front page and as long as you've got good content you'll get hits. We love it. Who would've thought it would have transformed so much from back in the day

    You should check out www.njlivingcolor.org --- a great cultural website started in New Jersey--would be nice if other states could do the same. (The foundation hosting the website is co-chaired by Oprah's Stedman Graham).

    Still waiting for someone to do something different and not just take an already existing site and make it "black" or "urban"

    I was thinking the same thing GreasyGuide... Those are just clone sites... I could do that myself...

    @Tiffany: Thanks for that link cool concept though the foundation could work on the design, etc. I could see this working from state to state though.

    @GreasyGuide, @BlackAdTalk: Yoonew or BlackObserver are not clone sites. The others have specific content that is supported by the platforms they have chosen.

    I really am inspired by the number of Black-owned websites being launced.
    There are also 'Social Entrepreneurs' in the community who are trying to do their thing too.

    All in all, anything to raise the aspirations and encourage progression is a positive!

    Hello. I'm not sure if you have had a chance to checkout some of the large dating web site companies around today - but almost all of them have a common aspect... high monthly subscription fees and confusing searches. My friend at work was telling me about how expensive it is to meet someone online - depending on the site. I know that myspace and facebook are good alternatives to meeting people, however they tend not to foster the dating environment that a site dedicated to dating does.

    You may be asking why I'm writing this here. Well. I am a web designer and programmer and have come up with a solution to these crazy fees.... www.slideDATE.com . It is a website fully dedicated to people, profiles, and pictures. I also plan to keep this site free for as long as possible, to help increase membership. In addition - individuals that sign up for the site before it begins to charge... will keep their free membership for the life of their account. :)

    Anyways. The site is not 100% done yet, but should be ready to go very soon.
