    While I understand why & how the term "African American" came to be, it seems quite inappropriate in this context. Are we to assume that this is for black Americans only? It's of no use to black Africans, or black people in Europe, or India, or Canada...? Do the built-in, customized search engines find American content only? Are the social networks limited to American users only? Is the news ticker limited to stories and events that occur only in America? Of course not. The Internet is a global domain, so the "American" terminology in a misnomer, in this context.

    Even the application developers seem to be confused about the appropriate terminology uses: if "Blackbird," "Black Search," "Black News Ticker," "Black Bookmarks," and "Black TV" are appropriate, then why not "black people?" Saying "black people" would correctly identify at whom the application is aimed, and would not suggest it's limited to those in America.

    I'm curious: do black people in other countries use similar alternate terminology, or is this a uniquely American phenomenon?
