Commented on “Black Web 2.0″

An article by Navarrow

That’s funny! Glad to see your reading my posts. I’m sorry if my comments intimidate you because that is not my intent. My comments are direct because I believe these issues to be important but they are not malicious and there is a difference. My point is to simply point out the things that the facts support. The mobile industry is a proven one that is still growing and all media companies are looking at how they can exploit that growth to create new revenue streams and obtain new audience segments. To suggest that Black media should take a slower approach to entering this industry is bad on two fronts. It continues to put them in last place in terms of media innovation and also hurts adoption of these platforms by African Americans desperately looking for relevant content. Blog sites are all about debate and opinions. But when opinions are passed along as facts they can be misleading and I know there are many people who come to this site to gain knowledge and understanding of this industry and encouragement to follow their entrepreneurial dreams the right way. Any point I make I can back up with real data and we owe it to everyone in the dialog to do so or make sure they know that it’s just your opinion on the subject. Black owned media is lagging and essentially out of the game. If they have a social media strategy it is most likely a generation behind what is being used by sites to scale currently, hence this post and the earlier post on the Ipad. What’s most important is that :
a) The dialog is happening.
b) Someone of there is getting an idea on how they can create something that can fill the need.
That’s what I care about. And lastly to speak to you point in your last post. I can work on my current projects and have time to let you know when you giving misleading commentary. It’s called Multitasking and it’s even going to be available on the iphone soon! Here’s to hoping we have enough culturally relevant apps there to flip through. Have a blessed weekend.
