Yahoo! Inc. announced the launch of Yahoo! Shine (http://shine.yahoo.com), a new website for women. It's too soon to tell if this will become a regular read for me, but from what I've seen so far, the layout looks clean, the site is easy to navigate, and the tone of the articles seems to be a positive presentation of ideas. If nothing else, sites like Glam, iVillage and Sugar Inc. may have a little increased competition on their hands. Check it out - but don't forget to continue supporting your friendly independent fashion bloggers.

From FoxBusiness.com: "The site offers nine categories ranging from Fashion & Beauty to Parenting, and will feature content from many of the most popular lifestyles publishers, including Conde Nast Publications and Hearst Corporation. Additionally, a new editorial team will develop original stories on a daily basis, and hand pick the best user blog posts to feature prominently on the site."
