Sk*rt: Digg for Women?

Social bookmark anything lately? If you've used Del.icio.us to save favorite articles, blog entries, recipes, anything, then you have, and you know it's a good way to keep track of information you want to read again, or share with other Del.icio.us users.

Del.icio.us cuts broadly across all kinds of information, but sites such as Digg, a social bookmarking site where the focus is strongly on tech topics, have a predominant niche. A new social bookmarking site has entered the fray aiming to be a social booking marking site of choice for women. It's called Sk*rt, and co-founder Gabrielle Blair calls it a "she-inspired version of Digg." To read more about how she and three other bloggers created and launched Sk*rt, check out Blair's launch announcement on her Design Mom blog.

"Here's the gist: Sk*rt is an online media ranking site created for and by women, featuring topics women dig," Blair writes. A check of Sk*rt's front page as I write finds links to blogging, bras, autism, and a photo essay of pregnant women.

So, have you been looking for a gender-specific social media tool, or do you find it not that necessary? Check it out and let me know if you find things you'd want to check out and if you'd use Sk*rt. Here's the site's getting started page.
