| McLean Greaves Turns Down The Volume.com |
 |
Apparently Volume.com's content is so wack that its Chief of Content, McLean Mashingaidze Greaves, would rather leave the site a few weeks before launch than take credit for the content. We can't wait to see what the ubër-secret Volume.com lead by Kevin Dowdell, produces.

| Hookt and Platform Sitting In A Tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. |
 |
Hookt.com has secured it's next round of financing. It's been quietly attempting to make a ton of deals and partnerships, which are attractive to investors. They have aligned themselves with partners such as Bad Boy, Kioken, Slim Shady, Homegirl and blackplanet.com. They are quietly paying to insert their brand name on everything; Magazine ads, compact disc releases, and one-color posters on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. So why isn't Hookt.com that addictive?

We bring you a UE dissection of the panel.

The competition was shook…until the first issue came out.

| Urban Expose Presents: The Top 100 People, Places, and Things With No Buzz. |
 |
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. The closest thing we have to anything space aged is a color palm pilot. New Year's Eve proved to be very anti-climatic for many. Many people wished there was a Y2K disaster just so something interesting would happen.

| Vibe = Source + Out |
 |
Emil Wilbekin’s next plank in his platform will be laid today at his panel for gay executives in entertainment. Emil flexed his editorial control with a sensational article in Vibe magazine about homo thugs. During one of the worse soft ad markets, the urban magazine’s identity crisis has effectively set the stage for advancing Emil’s political agenda and turned Vibe into a hip-hop version of Out magazine. Gay vague indeed.

The Olympics officially started this weekend and UBO is attempting to get a site up in time before she competes. They paid her approximately $1 million dollars for the rights to do this site and they haven't even linked to it from their main site yet.

| Digital Divide by Four and Take Away Millions. |
 |
The Digital Divide has become the new media code word for anything black online, creating a tremendous boon for black new media CEOs. These shameless self-promoters use every panel on the Digital Divide to advance their own company interests, regardless of whether they are actually doing anything to help black people get wired.
