  • Gurl.com (stylized as gURL.com from 1996 to 2011) was an American website for teenage girls that was online from 1996 to 2018. It was created by Rebecca Odes, Esther Drill, and Heather McDonald as a resource centered on teen advice, body image, female sexuality, and other teen-related concerns. First published as an online zine, it later expanded into an online community. At one point, it provided a free e-mail and web hosting service, known as Gurlmail and Gurlpages respectively. Clothing retailer Delia's purchased the site in 1997; it was later sold to PriMedia in 2001, who in turn sold it to iVillage in 2003. Alloy (later rebranded as Defy Media) acquired it from iVillage in 2009. The website ceased activity after Defy Media's closure in 2018 and was redirected to Seventeen's website in the same year. As one of the first major websites aimed at teenage girls in the United States, Gurl.com was heavily associated with zine culture and third-wave feminism; it was also used in academia to study the online behavior of teenage girls. Unlike teen magazines in the 1990s, Gurl.com was known for its humorous tone, unconventional approach to teen-related topics compared to mainstream media, and contributions from its audience (such as editorials and artwork). The popularity of Gurl.com led the creators to co-author three teen advice books, the first being Deal With It! A Whole New Approach to Your Body, Brain, and Life as a gURL (1999). Gurl.com won the I.D. Magazine Award for Interactive Media in 1997 and a Webby Award in 1998; its founders received the New York Magazine Award in 1997 for their work on the website. Gurl.com was also met with privacy concerns, as well as criticism from conservative and anti-pornography advocates for its sex-positive stance and sex education resources. (en)
  • Gurl.com是一个從1996年至2018年運營,主要面向少女的美國網站,1996年至2011年间名称被風格化為gURL.com。网站由、以斯帖·德伊爾和希瑟·麥克唐納開發,主要聚焦青少年建議、身體意象、女性的性和其他與青少年相關問題的資源。網站最初為線上,後擴展为网络社区,并一度提供免費的電子郵件和網頁寄存服務,分別名為Gurlmail和Gurlpages。 服裝零售商於1997年買下该網站,後於2001年賣給,又於2003年轉手给,再于2009年被Alloy(後更名為)收購。反抗媒體的停業讓網站隨之停運,在同年重定向至美国杂志《17》的網站。 作為最早的主要面向少女的美國網站,Gurl.com與小誌文化和第三波女性主義緊密相關,並被學術界用來研究少女的線上行為。與1990年代的青少年雜誌不同,Gurl.com以幽默的語氣、與主流媒體相比較非傳統地接觸青少年的相關話題,及觀眾的投稿(如社論和圖畫作品)而聞名。Gurl.com的流行讓創辦人合著了三本青少年建議書,首當其衝的是《》(1999年)。 Gurl.com获1997年互動媒體獎、1998年威比獎,創辦人因该網站获1997年紐約雜誌獎。Gurl.com也受隱私問題困扰,保守派和擁護者曾批評其立場和性教育資源。 (zh)
