Hello everyone, we hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and haven’t spent to much money on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Either way, after taken a week off for Thanksgiving, we’re back to bringing you some of leaders in Social Media on the web today. This week we had a chance to talk with our second female guest Angela Benton (@Abenton) who is the Founder and Publisher of BlackWeb20.com.
We talked with Angela about social media in the African-American community, how did BlackWeb 2.0 get started, challenges in being a female and building her online brand using social media and what’s next for Black Web 2.0.

By now I’m sure you’re aware of how social media played a role in electing our new president and the online community is a buzz about the future of social media in government and politics. This week on Talk Social News, we explore the future of social media and politics as we talk with Thomas Cook, cofounder of Politics4All. Politics4All is a socially-networked platform that allows citizens, candidates, citizens, and groups to connect and collaborate on every level of the political spectrum. (from http://politics4all.com)
Take a listen as we discuss how President-Elect Barack Obama won the election using social media, the future of Change.gov and Politics4all.com, and what’s it’s like to be a TechCrunch50 demo company working on a business plan and raising capital. We also talked about the roll of citizen journalism reporting the news and the cool Politics4All t-shirts. For more about Politics4All you can read their blog or follow them on twitter at @Politics4All but first listen to the podcast.
