"MediaTakeOut gets serious traffic. The list was pulled together using Compete, Quantcast, and Alexa." - Angela Benton

"They are Hip-hop sites as we partnered with JumpOff.tv for this list and helped them pull it together. Thx for commenting!" - Angela Benton

"Guys since we partnered with Jumpoff.tv for this is is in actuality the top 10 HIP-HOP sites, though this was the title it was given. This is why you don't really see in other sites in the line-up. Additionally none of the big players we taken into account, most of the sites you'll notice are independent owned sites. Hope this helps to clarify." - Angela Benton

""Between this and the Tiger Woods cover I wonder what's going on over there." man so TRUE!!! I think perhaps they are the writers "friends" not sure how else to explain the huge range in followers." - Angela Benton

"In general or as it relates to Twitter? I've seen very few on Twitter only." - Angela Benton

"Interested in seeing where this goes also!" - Angela Benton

"Yeah Markus says he uses it this way and has been hooked. I haven't used evernote in atleast a year so I think I may need to give it another try." - Angela Benton

""I can't totally blame the dev team for what they came back with but when certain people start shooting their mouths off about "next level" shit they better damn sight roll their sleeves up and help make it happen as well. We can all talk about Something being wack, I knowing the situation understand why it is. As long as no one challenges the powers that be in this situation it will remain wack." I agree. I have been in this situation before with 'powers that be' most times the outcome is not a reflection of the talent but the leadership. You'd be surprised how many people are in leadership positions who cannot lead." - Angela Benton

"That is a great point to make. Especially when design is outsourced if you don't have a design resource on staff that is capable of maintaining it the integrity of the original design will be compromised." - Angela Benton

"Thanks for the comment not sure why it came up in this post, I'll post it over at TJMS post." - Angela Benton

"I am amazed at you posting this comment, like all the people attacking her are coming from this site which in fact they are not. Like someone said above, when you post things in a public forum you must expect this kind of backlash, there is that potential...especially with social media. This stuff is archived indefinitely, I'd think most people regardless of race would get that. Thanks for posting." - Angela Benton

"Thanks for your comment Jeannine" - Angela Benton

"Hey Joey! Yeah we have that weighted since it is actually pays, Highly doubt any ads in AdSense can compete which it is which is why you may have to refresh several times for adsense to show. When it did show it served these contextual ads: Web 2.0 Communities Google Ad Programs Internet Marketing Degree and wait for it....Sexy Black Singles ad by Mate1 LOL, smh :|" - Angela Benton

"I agree, it is great to see them getting recognition!!! Since Getty doesn't keep records like that though hard to say Sinden was even the first, her work is beautiful nonetheless!" - Angela Benton

"Who was the first?" - Angela Benton

"Yeah, they're out and are about $150 http://www.esend.com/Beats......" - Angela Benton

"@DNLee CES is the acronym used for the International Consumer Electronics Show that is held annually: http://www.cesweb.org/ Hope that helps :)" - Angela Benton

"Great interview Mario!!! I can't believe Ludacris was at CES. I wonder how many artist will follow his lead with the HDS BlueRay album. I wish I was there to listen in person, I may have to get his new CD too ;)" - Angela Benton

"Regina thanks for leaving your perspective! :) "The point of Black Web 2.0, which I applaud, is that it provides me with a one-stop shop for the activities of my colleagues in web development who might not get exposure elsewhere. Specific purpose, excellent execution. That is what makes it worth coming back to. And, as it evolves, I’m sure it will become a weekly reading resource for people of all backgrounds and ethnicities, none of which detracts from it’s mission." Thank you so much for the kind words also, this is exactly what we strive for!" - Angela Benton

""People still eat that stuff?" Seriously? Surely many, many, many people have no problem eating at Mickey D's, especially w/ the recession and all, I'm sure the Dollar menu will com in handy. I hate the commercial as well, or did, it is actually pretty funny. What's even funnier if the YouTube video from the supposed artist who sings in the commercial. My only question is why they set the number of video views for the viral video so low before they unveiled who the actual singer is. It's like they expected it to be unsuccessful on the outset, in that case why even do it all. 10k views is mighty low." - Angela Benton

"@Fredric This site isn't launched yet at all thats why it says coming soon. We actually got this as a tip and decided to post because we thought it was interesting and different from what we normally get. All please don't make the mistake of thinking this is launched, clearly it isn't and is still in development." - Angela Benton

"No big sports fan myself but I can see how someone could get engrossed in the amount of info they will provide." - Angela Benton

"We just update the post @TheJennTafur actually hooked us up w/ this info, thanks!" - Angela Benton

"@Cecily I think there are many types of "black cultures" in regards to culture I think it can get as finite as the individual. Same applies to blacks, however I do think a majority of blacks can relate to one another in some way shape or form. This is not to say that Blacks can't relate to others in that same way and visa versa. Unfortunately things have already been classified as "Black" or "Insert a race or Culture" in our society. Regarding the product, it is interesting, I don't think I am their demo so would probably not use it on a daily basis plus I'm on a MAC. I think it is a rare opportunity that Black websites get the opportunity to be featured in a browser. I know BW 2.0 would not be a bookmark under News in any other browser (Chrome, IE, FF, Safari, Opera). BTW Thanks @Blackbird for that! ;)" - Angela Benton

"Very interesting, I am glad to see it won't another pure content-play. @Kamau @Markus I am hopping the programming won't be solely on the "highest bidder" especially since there is an online component to this venture. It would make sense to bridge the gap by allowing their audience online to help determine the programming versus solely on who has the most capital. While I think Bob Johnson and his team can launch a successful broadcast channel I am not sure if I can say the same for an online component to support this effort, especially if there is some UGC involved. They have had UGC initiatives in the past but haven't proved success in that area just yet." - Angela Benton
