Fellow Secret Square (We're on hiatus!) M. Tye Comer has almost singlehandedly dragged America Online into the twenty-first century by launching "G-Sides, Music for the GLBT Community" through AOL Music. It's not a strictly "gay music" portal... it's more like a targeted-marketing subsite. But it's a fairly big deal if you look at it in terms of the cultural development of the country over the past decade. Unfortunately, Reuters beat me to the scoop. Hmmmm.... and mutual friend Bill Werde wrote the article... go figure. Anyway, it's a huge milestone for AOL, Tye, and (of course) Madonna. Congrats, dude.
**UPDATE** The WB and UPN networks are combining into one massive not-so-super network called the CW. What are the chances that "CW" stands for "coloreds and wrestling?" I kid. Seriously, it is nice that all professional wrestling, Star Trek spinoffs, and Black sitcoms will now be available in one convenient location.
