come on man, if you’re going to shill for this loser of a site, at least change your name so it’s less obvious. I hope they’re paying you well man, it’s a shame if you don’t get some of that $4.5 mil before it’s gone.

“…admit you’re a hater and move on.”

I have made it perfectly clear that I have no intention of co-signing on the current implementation of Global Grind. It is a semi-solid idea that fails to effectively deliver what it is designed to do. With this latest change — Wright makes it clear that he wants to ensure the best user experience possible (Global Grind is not there yet).

Where is the evidence that the site is “staying current”? By subscribing to a model similar to Digg for technology? By targeting Hip-Hop to aggregate news for those who have love for the culture? There is nothing new about what Global Grind offers from any other social media space — what will set it apart from the others is the implementation.

I see you campaigning for Global Grind, which is great. If I were associated with the site, I would find other ways to constructively try to build an audience — because your presentation is suspect (do you represent Global Grind officially?) I would love to comment on a related blog post, written by you, on your site…but, when I go to click on your name, there is no link.

Unlike the comments made by “Joyous”, you fail to present what could possibly be next-level about what Wright & Simmons are doing in this particular space. Click my name. Contact me via my email address. Happy to take the conversation to a different space and not dilute what Angela tried to foster with this post — candid discussion.

Lately I’ve been tossing GlobalGrind.com around to some of my friends, asking their opinions and giving them a few observations of my own about the site. These particular friends of mine are Black, web-savvy individuals who run the gamut of…

However, if you see GG’s new approach as dumbing down, then we will simply have to disagree. Your review is full of sarcastic remarks and jabs at GG. Who states that GG’s original start page was too advanced for its audience. You or Mr. Wright. “I think the user experienced may have been to[too] advanced for the majority of GlobalGrind users.” I’m a Global Grind user w/a college degree. Are you referring to me or the other Black and Latino people on the site. I know you aren’t referring to the white users because they wouldn’t have a problem “getting it”. I did not try to make a jab at you, I am point blank telling you Clarence that your comments remind me of Bob Johnson. Just admit you’re a hater and move on. Anyone who blasts a company for staying current and providing its users with what it wants is clearly not an objective person.

Also, you would be incorrect in noting, “Further, if I recall correctly, you gave Mr. Wright rave reviews prior to his relaunching” — the first time I heard about Global Grind was this week after previewing episode 13 of “Run’s House”. I couldn’t have commented on it before now. Unless my mind is playing tricks on me, I believe this is also the first time I’ve commented on BlackWeb as well.

…and did you just compare me to Bob Johnson? (and then try to pass the jab off as something cute?) Unfortunate, but, Def Comedy all the same.
