DISQUS

There are over 300,000 people of African descent in the IT industry according to recent Department of Labor statistics. I am executive director for a foundation that funds education & technology programs that advance the careers of African Americans from the classroom to the boardroom. There are many brothers and sisters out here.

I just celebrated my 1-year anniversary in the afrosphere. I've seen the development of Afroshere Bloggers Association and The AfroSpear.

I hope that you and other Black web professionals will make plans to be presenters at the Blogging While Brown conference in Atlanta in July 2008 *or* the National BDPA Technology Conference in Atlanta in August 2008.

Anyhow...great post!

To be honest, I rarely go to the doctor as it is ... so, I'm not sure that I would go to a 2.0 doctor either.

We have posted the Black Blog Rankings for December 2007. Come by to see where your blog is ranked!

Hmmm... seems like a good opportunity to encourage your readers to learn more about Freedom Technology Center

I have been using LinkedIn since earlier this year. I have found it useful to locate corporate contacts and it provides a certain degree of 'credibility' as I do cold calls for my fundraising and corporate sales efforts on behalf of BDPA.

Your suggestions are good ones. I hope that LinkedIn takes you up on them.

Excellent advice!

Good looking out. I read this same story a few moments ago on the BDPA Detroit TAC blog.
