The site handbag.com was set up in October 1999. It aims to be a "useful place" on the Net for women and is one of the premier woman’s interest sites. The site is a 50:50 joint venture between The Boots Company and Hollinger Telegraph New Media. The portal includes expert features, advice, questions and answers combined with a multitude of online services, as well as free Web access, e-mail, news, information, interactivity, and online shopping. Visitors can have their questions answered and take part in online discussions with handbag.com’s team of experts. The home page has been neatly divided horizontally into sub-heads like food and drink, entertainment, discussion group, competition quiz, sports, horoscope and technology. www.planetgirl.com Planetgirl is a place where
girls can come, mouth off their opinions and be themselves. You can get
advice from your peers or an elder 20- something year old. The surfer
can give advice too and earn points to win free stuff like gift
certificates to her favourite stores. All she needs to do is keep coming
back each week and do a survey, write some reviews on stuff like your
favourite CD or film. The site claims to be a parent free site!
"Only the girl’s opinion matters here, so relax, hang out and
tell us what you think," says the home page. The portal also hosts
content from a partner site, iEmily.com that informs about balanced
health. |
