iTurf's gURL.com Rated Hottest Information Site for 2000 by Teen People Magazine
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2000--gURL.com, the popular, award-winning content and community destination for teen girls on the iTurf network, has been rated the number one information Web site by Teen People magazine.
In the February 2000 issue of Teen People, 1000 ''trendspotters'' made their predictions of what's hot for the year 2000 in a feature entitled ''What's Next - 200 for 2000.'' gURL.com was included among other notable Web sites, such as Yahoo, MTV Online and mp3.com, in the Tech Life sections for teens.
gURL.com gives girls a place to explore their interests and share their experiences in an entertaining, informative, and non-judgmental environment. gURL.com currently provides state-of-the-art web page hosting to more than 400,000 girls. The gURL Pages web building tool requires no previous knowledge of HTML or any other computer programming language and allows girls to express and share their views and interests in a creative way.
In December, ''Deal With It!,'' a book created in part from frank comments and commentary pulled directly from gURL.com, rose to number 3 on the Publishers Weekly Children's Nonfiction Bestseller List.
Steve Kahn, President and Chief Executive Officer of iTurf, said, ''It's a tremendous honor to have Teen People select gURL.com as a premier site for 2000. All of our content and community offerings on the iTurf network are designed to provide today's teens with a more meaningful connection and gURL.com is an example of what we can achieve by listening to and respecting our audience.''
The other content and community-focused sites on the iTurf network are OnTap.com and iTurf.com, the network's flagship site. OnTap.com is the college offering on the iTurf network, delivering features and services of interest to college students and older teens. iTurf.com is a unisex offering of cutting edge content and communications tools for teens. Scheduled for full launch in early 2000, iTurf.com also serves as the gateway to the iTurf network.
