I think that the solution to these times is going to require a little "out of the box" thinking. This is a perfect time for us, as human beings, to reinvent ourselves. There are new opportunities out there, You have to look for them. I am a 39 year old single Mother. I work full time been on my JOB 16 years. I was looking for more out of this life for me and my child. I found in something Great. I started my own business. I need anyone out there in the Hampton Roads Virginia area to call or email me [ Monique 757-343-2627 Mdavis580@cox.net ] if you are Professional , Love working with pepole amd love to make big money!!!

Great post...and though you did say your list represented a few, I thought I'd go wider and introduce people to an even wider diversity. Some of these folks have been blogging since before 2000, or on Twitter as far back as it began, or they are regular speakers at SXSW or other tech-related conferences and panels. Even some of these folks were major players at urban and black sites prior to the dot-com bust of 2001. And then yes, there are the music and entertainment industry folks who have come on in the past year or so. As well as some major entertainment bloggers. And just major heavy hitters altogether. Here are just a few: George Kelly (AKA Allaboutgeorge) - Online Expert at Contra Costa Times and Early Blogger with heavy ties to Silicon Valley communities. James Andrews (AKA Keyinfluencer) - VP in digital at major PR firm former music industry exec and one of the executive team members of UBO. Chuck Creekmur - HNIC allhiphop.com, major writer and talking head in hiphop and urban music and culture. Twanna Hines (AKA funkybrownchick) - Relationship blogger and writer, heavy player in building your rep and personality online. Heading up a major panel at the upcoming SXSW. Rebecca Waler - political activist, author of many books, teacher, daughter of Alice Walker. And she was probably prompted by folks like me, and well Barack Obama. Ellen McGirt - senior writer at Fast Company, a regular on TV, and launched CassandrasRevenge.com, an award-winning investor education Web site for women in 1997. Theda Sandiford (AKA BondyGyrl) - Was the head of many digital marketing operations at many major labels (most known for her roles at Def Jam and working with Russell Simmons on other digital strategies). Now runs her own thing and consults many urban and entertainment media companies. Kelsey Ruger (AKA the moleskin) - Director of Web Operations and Creative Services for Houston based Pop Labs, and has written and spoken extensively about technology. N'Gai Croal - Level Up (gaming blogger for Newsweek) and all around journalist. And someone already mentioned Danyel Smith, EIC of Vibe, and then her husband, Elliott Wilson, former EIC of XXL and partner with the Ego Trip guys who created books and shows like Miss Rap Supreme and The White Rapper, is on there too. I could go on with this exercise for days. Anyone else you think should be added to the list?
