There is Digg for girls: boudica.com

  Oh cool -- I'm glad to be wrong!

    I just took a look and I think Boudica is a bit too strongly targeted towards women. Boudica has four main categories to keep it simple. News, for any breaking news stories relating to women. The Arts, covering theatre, cinema, books, art shows, etc. House, anything to do with interior design, architecture, gardening and so on. Finally, Time Off for anything that you enjoy when you're not working, a great restaurant, a wonderful hotel or destination. Why can't it just be a place for women to discuss whatever they want to? I know that there are potential problems with women being a minority online, but if the topics are categorized in this way to encourage women and discourage men from posting, I think that's limiting. Digg and reddit are male-oriented because most of the posters are male. Is there some way of achieving a female orientation without making the sign-up process onerous? (Or by having an easy signup but making the site stereotypically targeted.)

      Women spend more time playing flash games than men do so a "light" gaming site with a good message board would probably be more female centric.

  Two 'Random' Headlines from Boudica: Jennifer Lopez wants another baby The other side of Angelina Jolie Granted those were 'cherry picked' to make my point, but this Girl-Digg site seems like the same stuff you'd see inside the popular glossy and rather crappy women's magazines that are sold in supermarkets and bookstores nationwide. All that's missing are the "10 Signs Your Husband is Cheating" and "47 Ways to Lose Weight Fast" articles.

    I agree Jose, Boudica community seems to cater to the lowest common denominator. I posted the link not because I like it but because it is precisely what the poster asked, a Digg for girls.
