While most search engines are scrambling to index the whole of the Web, one
site is instead aiming to exclude the majority of what's on the Internet.
SheKnows.com (http://SheKnows.com), a new Web
portal debuting this month, intends to highlight only sites of particular
interest to women.
With its comprehensive directory, SheKnows.com provides easy access to
resources and information of value to women and girls online. Site visitors may
browse links in a variety of categories; including art, business, health,
hobbies, politics and parenting.
In addition to the directory -- which already contains over a thousand
categorized links -- SheKnows.com provides free web-based e-mail, daily
horoscopes, an e-mail reminder service, free e-mail postcards and a rotating
selection of independent sites in the spotlight.
SheKnows.com is the latest project from Myria Media, Inc., an independent Web
development company owned and operated by two women, Nancy Price and Betsy
Gartrell-Judd. Says Price, "We wanted an Internet starting point that had no
porn, no spam - just links of interest to women, with an emphasis on sites that
were also created by women."
A dynamic resource, the site is updated daily, and all visitors to
SheKnows.com are invited to add links to the directory as well as to rate their
favorite sites. A newsletter highlighting popular sites and Editor's picks is
e-mailed to subscribers weekly. Designed with a female-friendly palette and
vivid images, the SheKnows.com user interface creatively combines text with
graphics to make the site as attractive as it is functional.
Myria Media's other Web properties include ePregnancy, a site for expectant
parents (http://ePregnancy.com); Myria, an
online magazine for mothers (http://myria.com);
and the forthcoming parenting information and community site, Interactive Parent
(http://InteractiveParent.com). Among
other honors, Myria was one of four Web destinations recommended by Redbook
Magazine in June 1999, taking its place alongside multi-million dollar ventures
Women.com, iVillage and ThriveOnline (Oxygen).
SheKnows.com is open now and ready to enlighten the fast-growing population
of women on the Web. Visit the site at http://SheKnows.com. What do you want to know?
