I checked on my stories several times and even with 10 or so clicks they never go anywhere. I guess you have to be friends with them to have a story read. total baloney!

Yes, this is a 'woman digg', technically, but content wise it's Cosmopolitan meets House&Garden serving as a 'woman's version' of what's going on in the world and is interesting to know. First impression: The top ad on the homepage - seemingly un-aligned with anything else so it manages to be the very first thing that catches the eye on the site - is for Laser Hair Removal Machines. Says something about the target audience interests? Ok, I kirtsy around a bit. Homepage: Among the most prominent popular links I register 'Hilarious but Delicious Meatloaf Cupcakes with Potato Frosting' and 'A Totally Swoon Worthy Cake'. Checking out some sections: Without too much enthusiasm I check out the section Politics, World and Business and among the first four links are 'Hubby tries to flog wife on eBay' and 'These bad ass gardeners rock'. Hmmm... I scan the Arts & Entertainment section (could be anything and rarely has nothing much of the arts, I do realise) and here I find the top notch links: 'Kerry Katona Gives Birth!' 'Ashlee is pregnant!' Ok, I leave Kirtsy already there, having not found two links I want to follow, and maybe I'm a sourpuss tonight, and I have already babbled on too much (I'm a woman after all...) But it does make me think that I would love to find a site/tool written, edited, twittered, digg'ed, by and for women, which could potentially have some thought-provoking insights and comments traffic on *relevant* world/business/tech/arts/media events. Just a thought. Does anybody know of anything, any recommendations? Is it even relevant, do we need a women's edition? I always question it, then I turn it around and question it from the other side. Any comments? Just have to comment I was very frustrated to see this site. Yes, this is a ‘woman digg’, technically, but content wise it’s Cosmopolitan meets House&Garden serving as a ‘woman’s version’ of what’s going on in the world and is interesting to know.

"Less is more lady.." It remind me of a mixture of http://www.designspongeonline.com and http://mightygoods.com but a rush job on the layout. Even if they might have interesting information. It hurt my eyes. Volia mon avis....

What you do is concatenate the string "category=" followed by the section name to their RSS feed URL. An example using the "Internet & Technology" category is given below: http://kirtsy.com/rss.php?category=Internet_Technology I will suggest to the fine folks there that they make sure and attach those URLs to the appropriate buttons on each of the section pages (and also on their home page.) ~EdT. @Amanda – there is a way apparently to subscribe to sections, though it isn’t a simple “click the button” method yet.

They also did a fantastic job of tapping into their community for help with the name change. After all, a lot of the women putting up content are writers, independent consultants, marketing folks and the like. The new name and logo are great!
