[sk*rt: like digg but better]

According to design mom aka Gabrielle Blair, sk*rt is like digg but "she-inspired."


From the sk*rt site:
The Real Dirt on sk*rt
What is sk*rt anyway?

Plain and simple, sk*rt is the female version of Digg. sk*rt is the place to find and/or link to anything and everything on the Web that you'd like to share with other women. If sk*rt users like what you submit, they'll vote for it. The more votes, the more likely your link will make it to the front page. Links on the front page are seen by everybody and get lots of love. The front page content is ever-changing and always cool.

Of course, no one person can keep track of every cool thing out there. So sk*rt users bring the content. Vote for the content. Determine what's good and what's bad. sk*rt works to make sure you don't miss any of the good stuff.

Who's behind the sk*rt?
From the East Coast. West Coast. And in between. Read all about the 4 lovely ladies behind the site
here.

What is sk*rt-worthy?
Anything and everything you think women will love. A new Web site. A sample sale announcement. An essay on body image. A pair of gorgeous red peep-toes. The latest on the elections. The best new hair-straightening tips. World news. A funny blog. Environmental updates. A hot recipe. An addictive online game. A party idea. And on and on and on."
From design mom, sk*rt is:
"an online media ranking site created for and by women, featuring topics women dig. Sk*rt was designed to promote sites, blogs, video, products, articles, ideas, art — anything online, really — to women and to the men who want to get in our heads. Sk*rt is basically a filter of cool stuff on the Web. If you aren't familiar with the concept of Digg, it goes like this. Any item (site, product, idea, video, blog, article, etc.) can be submitted by anyone. Readers can vote for the items by clicking the "Love It!" button on the left hand side of each submitted item. The items that get the most votes raise up to the front of the site. It's actually a great design, because it's organized so that if you only have a few minutes, you can scan through what's new, what's highly ranked or what's interesting to you; or you can search more specifically by category."

One word: fabUlous!



sk*rt!

It seems the sk*rt domain name has been disabled. Not sure what message that's giving out!
