Yahoo Launches Shine, Site for and by Women

Yahoo has just launched a new site that goes by the moniker “Shine”. It
a new site by and for women. Everything you’d always wanted to ask
about women, well I doubt if you can find in Yahoo Shine. Not really
because Yahoo Shine doesn’t want to be branded as your typical website
for women containing topics such as “how to please your man advice” or
“how to lose a pound in 10 days”. You won’t find those articles in
Shine; you’d have better luck with your local women’s magazine.

What Shine, wants to accomplish is to give a smart, empowering, and opinionated site for and by women and so they say.

In the meantime here are the goodies that you’d find in the Yahoo Shine portal.

• Fashion and Beauty
• Healthy Living
• Entertainment
• Parenting
• Love and Sex
• Work and Money
• Food
• At Home

Now, wait, aren’t those topics common in most women magazines, be it printed or online?

Anyway, if you want to give it a spin, you may want to start with
blogging in Yahoo Shine. The site has a blogging feature for interested
women who wants to contribute in developing the site as a full-blown,
content-rich site for women. The blogging feature, I guess was included
to put a Web 2.0 relevancy to the site.

Check out Yahoo Shine and see
for yourself if it has the potential to go viral. Why wouldn’t it? On
its launch day, you got Tom (Cruise) bashing on the headlines.
