| Urban Internet Smackdown: Some Were Quiet; Others a Riot. |
 |
The Urban Impact conference at Internet world has come to and end. The most popular panel brought together the heads of all the major sites on the urban space to battle it out. Bo Kemp isn't quite Sydney Lumet. They expected it to be like twelve angry men. Instead it became a sly jousting match between the heads of the black community sites. We bring you a UE dissection of the panel.

| Was The Source Hip-Hop Awards Edited By Golden Harvest or Ocean Video? |
 |
UPN aired what they could of the 2000 Source Hip-Hop Awards, last night and besides shots of Lil' Kim's g-string, it wasn't much to see. Pressed to fill two hours of allotted network time and fulfill it's commitment to sponsors such as Sony and Sprite, UPN used the show as a hip-hop soundtrack to their shameless infomercial of new shows for their first and most likely, last season. We've seen Kung Fu flicks with better continuity.

| No Purpose. No Soul. |
 |
Soulpurpose.com is another UBO foundation site. It's supposed to be a community site for an e-mail list that recycles press releases and covers parties sponsored by Moet and Captain Morgan's spiced rum. Interns everywhere read it thinking they'll get a glimpse into the entertainment industry.

| Toons Called Cutting Edge, Cross The Ledge |
 |
Online flash cartoons have gotten really popular. There are so many out there these days that it is difficult to stand out among all the competitors. Developers push the envelope to attract attention. Unfortunately, cutting edge is often used as a euphemism for perpetuating racial stereotypes.

| Marion Jones Has the Skills, Adam Kidron and UBO Pays the Bills |
 |
Adam Kidron's UBO arrives late again with an under-whelming website for a hot property. This past week Marion Jones was on covers of magazines and on every television station. She is poised to bring home a record 5 gold medals. UBO is poised to bring home 5 hits. 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.

| 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.

| 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

| Brace For Impact |
 |
Impact247 will launch their website on Monday before the Impact Urban Internet Conference. It's supposed to compliment the Impact 247 newsletter. UE brings it to you in advance, much to their chagrin.
