LEE
MOSS MEDIA ACQUIRES BLACKDOCTORS.COM AND BLACKPHD.COM
Columbus,
OH - Lee Moss Media, a joint venture between entrepreneurs
Dante Lee and William Moss, have recently added two more valuable
dot-coms to their portfolio - BlackPHd.com and BlackDoctors.com.
They plan to re-launch the sites in late 2008 as social networks
and online directories.
Moss is the
founder of HBCUconnect.com - the largest online destination for
Black college students and alumni. Lee is the founder of Diversity
City Media - the company behind BlackNews.com, BlackStudents.com,
BlackPR.com, BlackExperts.com, and BlackSpeakers.com.
Although they
operate their own separate companies, the two have formed Lee
Moss Media to house their joint properties which also include
BlackHistory.com, BlackWomenConnect.com, BlackInAmerica.com, and
other sites to be launched some time this year.
They also
plan to unveil a new service that allows individuals, groups,
and businesses to create their own social networks - utilizing
the same technology that grew HBCUconnect.com to over 1.2 million
users. This development will go live before the end of August
2008.
Recently profiled
in Ebony Magazine and Black Enterprise Magazine, Lee calls himself
a visionary. "Our ultimate plan is to create the largest
network of relevant web sites for African-Americans," he
says. "We already have the best online properties, and the
best web architects. So many companies have launched different
initiatives targeting African Americans online and have failed.
We're going to show everybody the right way to do this."
Combined,
both Lee and Moss have a staff of 12 people and own over 600 premium
domains that are Black-related. They plan for all of them to be
active web sites, that attract millions of monthly unique visitors.
Currently, their roster of clients include Nationwide Insurance,
BET, Verizon, American Airlines, Ford, Nissan, and many others.
