| 360 AKA Adam Kidron and UBO |
 |
Leave it to AKA, UBO and 360hiphop to take 'co-opetition' to a new level and create one of the most convoluted and meaningless pseudo-partnerships online. Urban Exposé has unraveled a web, which begins with Russell Simmons and the failed One World magazine.

| Isn't That Nice? AKA Blames Adam Kidron and UBO for Its Demise. |
 |
AKA dumped the rest of their staff on Friday. Instead of blaming their own inability to attract advertisers, they blame Adam Kidron. UBO was inept enough to agree to give a dying music site network millions of dollars to run ads for their own underdeveloped properties. The fall of the UBO behemoth will have a domino effect for several ad networks that relied on revenue from UBO to keep them aloft. You know, bla-bla bla.

| As The World Churns, Urban Exposé Returns... |
 |
As we approach the Autumnal equinox we find thoughts turning to school and work. Protractors, compasses and index cards dance in our head. It’s time to reflect on the hedonistic summer that was and begin to somberly accept that it’s time to buckle down and go back to work. Incidentally, reports of our death were greatly exaggerated. With aplomb, we return to the art of the exposé.

| 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

| Dis-Mays For David At The Source Awards. |
 |
David Mays coveted TheSource awards show came to an abrupt end yesterday. Police pulled the plug on the show right in the middle of it. UPN is going to air what they have on tape. The advertisers don't really care; you can find a sponsor for almost anything except Soul Purpose. At least TheSource was able to launch their new website. The controversy should provide them when a few extra thousand hits.

| 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.

| Tears Of A Clown: Smiley Makes Execs Frown |
 |
Tavis Smiley has been removed as the host of BET Tonight. The first word that his contract would not be renewed came in the form of a four-line fax to his office. After word circulated that Smiley would remain at his post until his contract expired, Robert Johnson announced that he would be terminated immediately. To handle the guaranteed neck-snapping backlash, BET CEO Robert L. Johnson will field calls from viewers March 26. Most likely, Johnson will tell the world that Smiley's ratings were falling, a condition likely caused by BET's not-so-subtle transition to being the Black MTV. In the process, BET Tonight's demographic has been lost in the shuffle.
