I read mommy blogs (for my client, of course!). I become hypnotized at least once daily by my Digg screensaver. And: I love dishtowels from Anthropologie. Given all those factors, how has sk*rt eluded me for almost a year?
I have to admit, I am a bit torn by the idea of a Digg for chicks, as Mr. Kawasaki puts it. If I were still in college, I’d probably write a long work of creative non-fiction on this topic, peppered with quotes from Judith Butler. Luckily, I work in PR now, so you will be spared that horror. Suffice to say, I find myself looking at sk*rt from my current perspective not as an alternative to Digg but, like a commenter on Kawasaki’s post called it, a special interest Digg site.
Frankly, there’s a place in my life for outrage at Mars Rovers’ funding being cut off and recipes for beer cupcakes. It also seems that many Digg/sk*rt top stories overlap. (Trying not to use the phrase “subverting binary opposition,” but you get the idea.)
If you haven’t checked out sk*rt, I encourage you to give it a peek and leave a comment. I’m interested in what the women (and men) of Affect think about the site. Oh! And Laurie S., if she’s reading this…
