Run on the show Runs House. I was very interested to find out about the site after hearing the Great Russell Simmons elaborating about its content to his brother Rev. Run on the show Runs House.

GG introduces RSS feeds and other technologies to a demographic that has not been reached in the past. DJ Gee, I think your point is exactly what makes Global Grind so attractive.

I never used RSS feeds in this way before and in fact wasn't really aware of them before I started using Global Grind. What I like about the site is that it provides Hip-Hop related content but also other content outside of Hip-Hop. Everyone thinks this is a bad thing but I think its great because who is to say that just because we like Hip-Hop that we don't care about the news??? I also like that I can customize things by adding or deleting grinds or tabs, and that its easy to search through the feed and tab gallery for content other users have created. I love this website!

I likened it to purchasing a new computer, you had to get rid of all of the crap before you could really enjoy it. Thankfully they rectified this by giving users the ability to select categories. Also I don't know if I like the fact that clicking on a link doesn't actually take me to web page. Instead it takes me to a iframe inside of GG. I understand why they do it, but I think it would make more sense to open up in a new window. I also like the help videos. A few of my friends thought that the site would be difficult for some users, but the videos were very helpful. All and all I think global grind is off to an impressive start an. I haven't imported my OPML over yet, but I am starting to drink the Kool-aid. :) My biggest problem with the Alpha version of GG was that, they made too many assumptions about the users.
