| Politicallyblack.com scales down. Co-founder leaves town. |
 |
Politicallyblack.com has closed down its web presence. They have scaled back to just an e-mail news feed powered by a 3rd party provider. Co-Founder Roderick Conrad has exited the company leaving just Charles D. Ellison in charge. The two co-founders have not seen eye to eye on the direction of the site and more importantly, their relationship to Medinex who has lost interest in supporting the site after they used it in their roll-up strategy to appeal to investors and their IPO.

 |
The year 2000 is almost at a close. While it has been a good year, it hasn't been a great year. The year 2000 rolled in more like a lamb than a lion. There are no flying cars or personal jet packs.

Many people wished there was a Y2K disaster just so something interesting would happen.

| Venus Wins Wimbledon; Adam Kidron and UBO Loses Hits A Ton. |
 |
Double Fault! UBO at some point had the ability to develop a website for Venus and Serena Williams. They didn't do it. A missed opportunity for lots of traffic and high volume merchandise sales. Serena won the U.S. Open earlier this year and Venus took Wimbledon this weekend. All those adoring fans, tennis junkies, and salivating lesbians were all looking for a website for the Williams sisters. There was none to be found.

 |
From its beginnings at B. Smiths as the personal meat-market of four single buppies working at new media companies, to its current state as the meat-market for buppies hoping to work at new media companies, MITP continues to be a failed experiment in minority networking.
