The Girls are Back In Town

There is something I’ve gotten really excited about lately and it is only just beginning. I’m talking about the new wave of awesome girl tools to hit the web. I’m in the middle of the the biggest petrie dish for startups in the world, New York City (oh yeah, I moved, I love it!). I’ve been watching new ones pop up monthly, companies like FashismBirchbox  and ToVieFor. Conceived by girls, run by girls, built for a mostly female demographic .


My life's dream knocked me full in the face when I saw this (omg, that google search made me find this  I <3  you, Microsoft). I was 17 years old and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with the rest of my life: be a part of the community that creates applications like that. However, I learned quickly that apps like that didn’t actually exist. I dreamed of the days when women figured out how to leverage software for their needs and wants. For a long time we’ve had fantasy football apps, miniature train forums, and ways to randomly put your friends into intermural sports teams online. Guys have been doing this for a decade, but now FINALLY, we are tinkering too!


Proud of you, ladies, can’t wait to see what else is in store.

  2. I often dream of that clueless closet app as well. (My first Java applet was a dress-up game.) I think it'd make a good mobile app - take pics of your clothes or draw them, catalog them, remember your favorite outfits. Bonus if it super-imposes them on you and tweets them out for ratings.
    Anyway, yes, awesome that we're starting to see more apps that are about what we like in life. There's a big market of us out there!

  5. I was in Madagascar (Antananarivo the entire time) in January and February, and it rained every day from mid-afternoon until nighttime. I walked and took taxis everywhere I went, so even with a long, heavy raincoat, I was soaked from the shoulders up and the knees down.

  6. You -could- get into further trouble if the paper were to be published. I highly doubt that it pertains to this case, but for a future warning, if you attempt to publish something that contains any plagerized content, you can (and will) be sued by the original author.

  8. Great post! I actually love how it is quick on my eyes as well as the information is well written. I am wondering how I may be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which should do the trick! Have a nice day!
