As some of you might know, a dynamic young African-American Internet duo,
Rob and Roz Rucker have created a brand new search engine and portal site
called The www.BlackWebPortal.com.

The site is designed with African-Americans in mind.
Right now their viewer-ship is the low thousands. They need to cross the hundreds of thousands
barrier to have any real chance of keeping this site online at all. Some of you are thinking...why does it matter?
It matters because BlackVoices is wholly owned by the Tribune Company;
Black Families by Cox Communications; BlackPlanet.com by an Asian
company; and Soul City HBO by AOL-Times/Warner. The BlackWebPortal is the only site
that is 100% African-American owned. The BlackWebPortal needs all of us to start emailing our friends,
relatives, etc., all over the world to start
using the resources at the BlackWebPortal. The important thing is that
they need the help getting the word out about this site. Let's help this
site out by visiting and seeing what they have to offer. So please tell
EVERYONE about the Black Web Portal. Don't just bookmark it for yourself.

Spread the news!
This is a new millennium! We must begin truly supporting black technology
efforts in the same way we cheer on our movie and athletic stars. If we
don't, they'll end up having to do the same as other black web sites by
getting assistance from elsewhere, thereby losing the original flavor
they have. PLEASE HELP __________________

Sorry, but I don't the point of a black interest search engine! Is it in reponse to perceived discrimination by general interest search engines?confused3Why cant these guys provide a service for everything, but raise their brand profile in the african american community as an added bonus? Strange. blkheadbang
