IAC announced their plans for an "online destination for the Black community". The site is "yet-to-be-named" and will not launch till January 2008!
That sounds so far away and like way too early a warning for the competition. I don’t want to automatically say that such seemingly slow movement is characteristic of the inflexibility of large corporations but it sure looks that way.
However, on the black executive tip, congratulations are in order for newly appointed CEO Johnny C. Taylor, Jr..

hehe…
Perhaps the early announcement is a way to stir up excitement with partners.
And shareholders who need to be told that IAC is right on top of this here tubular net thing.
I laughed at the Michael Jackson reference as well. It must suck to have that name.
