When MySpace isn't black enough: BlackPlanet.com (Download Squad)

Nov 16th 2007 2:13PM Basically, karsh and #5 are correct. However, all three sites (BP, MiGente, AA) were focused on articles and content rather than your typical ethnic-themed social networking service. From AA at least, there was a huge backlash when the service changed formats, mostly due to the community feeling that the websites were just emulating YASNS (yet another social networking service.) as a way for the parent company to make an easy dollar.

Long story short: It's been around, but in a different format and it's a shell of its glory days, probably BECAUSE of the fact that it's a myspace clone.
