Kenya Allmond: In My Own Words » Corporate America Doesn’t Like Controversy

Last week I saw on iGoogle (probably in the TechDirt feed) that 1938 Media had inked a deal with Verizon Wireless to distribute 1938 Media content on its VCast service.  I didn’t get to read it because it was a busy day.  1938 Media was no stranger to me, however, after all the controversy that his TechNi***: Where are the Black Tech Bloggers? video caused on the Videoblogging Yahoogroup a year ago.  (Google it).  So then Monday I see in my email from the Electronic Urban Report that Najee Ali, Paul Porter and other activists were calling for Verizon Wireless to withdraw the distribution deal.  I thought that interesting that this was in the Electronic Urban Report and also since the infamous video was about a year old.  I wondered if the boycott would work.  Apparently it did because the next day the Electronic Urban Report was reporting that Verizon dropped 1938 Media from the VCast service.
