| Sayshe Begins Urban Women's Site War |
 |
Sayshe.com beats the competition to the urban woman's content site arena. It is supposed to launch today with a simple party and no online or offline branding to speak of. The site was conceived by Lynne McDaniel, a human resources refusenik who actually wants to do film, but will settle for a website for now. Lured to Hookt to handle HR and shuffle some papers, she pressured them for money to start her own affiliate site. The Result: Sayshe.com

| Hot Five Urban Properties For 2001 |
 |
It is a bit early to call it spring, but already the days are becoming longer. Even as we speak we are in the equinox. It signals the time for shorter skirts, open sunroofs, and an unfathomable restlessness that makes sitting at a desk for more than our pre-defined notions of an 8 hour work day difficult. A slew of new properties are headed our way this year for consumption, some are appallingly bad and some are pretty frigging decent. With that, the staff behind UE presents what could be the hottest urban properties this year:

| Urban Cool Has Nothing To Crow About. |
 |
Representing the dirty south is urbancool.com. It is the first and only urban portal to make an aggressive run for the IPO market. It probably is the most expensive urban portal that no one knows about. They choose as a mascot "Bebe", a scruffy black crow with some beat up converse and blue eyes. An urban site based in Texas using "Jim Crowe" for promotions? Who runs this site?

| 3 Letter Agencies. |
 |
All sorts of former 3 letter agency operatives have appeared in the upper echelon of UBO's management team. It's not unusual for ex-company men to go work in companies owned or operated by 3 letter agencies. E-systems and Wackenhut are good examples of such safe houses. Was UBO infiltrated in hopes of monitoring the urban intellgenica's movements, interactions and spending habits online in case UBO was a wild success? Code name: COINTELAMATEUR

| New Ceo at NetNoir, No More Boss With Nom De Trios |
 |
E. David Ellington has jetted from the top post at Netnoir. The former COO, Melanie Cunningham, has quickly filled the vacancy to head up the restructuring. The Netnoir brand has been around for years although the site sounds more like an online portfolio for Jean-Michel Basquiat than a destination for lonely middle-age people of color. The brand currently has many challenges ahead of it. It seems to recognize its own lack of direction from the slogan recorded on their voice mail system: “Taking you there. Wherever there is.”
