Yahoo opens site for women, finally gets a place to show those teeth-whitening ads
Amy Iorio, the nonpregnant Yahoo exec who likes to park in spots reserved for expectant mothers, has found a way for Yahoo advertisers in consumer packaged goods, retail and pharmaceuticals to reach their target audience of women aged 25 to 54. (They are the key decisionmakers in all our lives, according to the ad salesman's stock patter.) Iorio says Shine (screenshot below) is for those women who felt left out by what other Internet destinations, such as Glam.com and iVillage, offer.

Other headlines include "Are Double Ds too big?" New startup pays creepy bloggers
Most startup launches are embarrassing enough without details. When Thisisby.us announced it was starting "the first major Web 2.0 application to incentivize an entire blogging community," it looked like any other doomed little content-based site paying pennies for blog posts no one wanted to read anyway.

GigaOM's WebWorkerDaily: For the digital nomad who has everything but a place to call work
