What is Black Web 2.0?

Black Web 2.0 addresses emerging web trends and how they apply to web properties that target African-Americans or African-American culture. There has been a recent surge of websites that target this demographic, some of which were existing and redesigned to take advantage of new web 2.0 technologies while others are start-ups. In addition to website and application launches we will be covering relevant Internet industry news as well as mainstream Internet industry news from an African-American perspective. Here is a summary of some of the editorial content we plan to discuss:

Topics
Social Networking
Emerging Trends
Development
Strategy
Design/Redesign
Digital Media
Web Content

Regular Features
“Launched”
Reviews on Websites and Web Applications.

“5 On It”
A short 5 question interview from individuals in the Internet industry.

“Week in Links”
A weekly list of favorite links from the staff on plug-ins, applications, blogs, and more.

“The Black Web 2.0 Show”
Monthly podcast from key players in the Internet industry.

“Hip-Hop 2.0″
Weekly insight into web 2.0 developments and trends in the Hip-Hop culture.

In addition, I would like to offer tools such as research and advice from guest bloggers to help those websites (new or existing) to benefit from their knowledge, check out the Black Web 2.0 Tools section for more info.
