...examples of Gore's stretching the truth are themselves stretches. He never claimed to have "invented" the Internet; he said that in Congress he "took the initiative in creating the Internet," an unfortunate way of saying he sponsored the bill that bankrolled the transformation of a Defense Department computer network into the Internet we know today. Nor did he claim to have discovered the Love Canal toxic-waste crisis; he was misquoted on the subject, but the newspaper corrections didn't get the same play as the original charge.

The result: goosehead.com a site she created that is chock full of games, music downloads and original comedy in streaming video. "I want to make Goosehead a teen-entertainment network," says Power, whose site gets more than 50,000 unique visitors a month...
Even traditionally male enclaves like online gaming are seeing an influx of estrogen. A year ago, the site Total Entertainment Network targeted hard-core gamers who played Quake and Duke Nukem online. The site was 98% male and had 30,000 subscribers. Last fall it changed its name to pogo.com and switched to more casual games like checkers, spades, bingo and euchre. Of its now 10 million users, 49% are women. The lesson: catering to women online isn't just open-minded; it's good business...
