## What We Do

BlackPlanet is an online platform for Black communities, launched in 1999 by Omar Wasow as one of the earliest major social networking and dating sites aimed at African Americans. Now owned by Urban One (via its iOne Digital division), it has been repositioned as a Black-focused news and community content site.
