On focus groups that is.  If you’re a member of BlackPlanet.com who actually reads their emails and doesn’t have them directed straight to your Spam box you may have gotten an email from them yesterday soliciting your participation in a focus group.  If you didn’t get the email, or just don’t read them, you may have missed out on an opportunity to “make BlackPlanet.com better,” go to their headquarters in TriBeCa, and earn some gas money.  Eighty dollars to be exact, for 2 hours of your time that could equal a full tank of gas.  Seriously though if you are in the NYC area and actually use BlackPlanet it could be a good look:
