My name is Smokey D. Fontaine, the Chief Content Officer of Interactive One. It is my pleasure to be a part of the Black Planet community and it is my intention to bring to this phenomenal platform - the world's original social network - some of the best content, technology, tools and information the web has ever seen...

I've had a very fortunate media background both online and off. 

 Here is an excerpt from my bio...

Named after the Motown legend, Smokey D. Fontaine was most recently the CEO / Editor-In-Chief of GIANT magazine. He has served as Senior Producer of Entertainment for Volume.com, the $35 million African-American Internet portal sponsored by HBO, where he continued the thesis argument set forth for Wesleyan University six years earlier that America was in the midst of a 21st century cultural renaissance. He was the US Editor of Trace magazine where he secured the fashion and music magazine's US distribution and advertising deals while writing nine cover stories; was the Music Editor of The Source magazine where he oversaw the growth of the world's largest music magazine on the newsstand and was nominated for a National Magazine Award for General Excellence in 2000, and was the Founder & CEO of america, the world's first urban luxury publication.  Fontaine is also the author of two books, What's Your Hi-Fi Q? and EARL: The Autobiography of DMX.
