Girl tech: smart place to gather

Article Abstract:

Girl Tech's Web site is a Web site that expertly reinforces girls's intelligence and creativity. This informative yet fun site divides 460 pages into eight sections and links users to other girl-friendly sites. Interactive communication is available at about 25% of the site, where users can mail virtual flowers to one another and translate personalized letters into French, German or Spanish. Chick Chat, a closely monitored bulletin board, says its ironic title can help girls bring respect to a pejorative. Dear Auntie Em is a Chick Chat section that mentors girls on personal subjects, and child psychologist Debrah Condren oversees a Boy Talk area for girls. Parents can access information on girls's social and intellectual development. A drawback is a Bow-tique destination for Girl Tech items and IDG Press's book on girls and the Internet, 'Tech Girls Internet Adventures.'

Point and click: interactive TV is poised for a prime-time run

Article Abstract:

Microsoft WebTV has considered the failures and foibles of past attempts at interactive television and is now giving rival America Online a run by providing interactive programming, advertising and home shopping to about 100 million viewers. While television executives cringe at the thought of the software giant dominating the living room, WebTV might be irrestible for viewers who merely point and click for games, sports cores, chat rooms or any program linked to the WebTV box. America Online is responding aggressively with AOL TV.

You've got mail. You're being watched

Article Abstract:

According to a report by American Management Association, 27% of companies monitor their employees' electronic mail. And the argument will never be settled between a person's right to privacy, and a company's right to not be exposed to litigation. One approach is to have an employee-based monitoring system without employer involvement. Within all the legal and ethical questions, common sense may still rule: don't write anything you don't want to be seen.
