Global Grind is a customizable ajax homepage targeted at the Hip Hop demographic. Founded by former CTO of BET (Black Entertainment Television), Navarrow Wright, global Grind is essentially a dressed up version of netvibes or Pageflakes which includes content from many online Hip Hop sources. It is also similar in flavor to iGoogle, MyYahoo and other general homepages. And although the technologies among these competing sites are not too differentiated, global Grind looks to appeal to a non-tech audience.
