This Web site focuses on girls' opinions and conducts frequent polls, the results of which are posted online. Opinion poll topics vary from favorite bands and brands of shoes to girls' feelings on magazine advertisements and Internet privacy issues. The "Speak Out" section, which houses the majority of the polling information, is a useful way to see at least how some girls feel about certain topics. The Web site also includes reviews written by girls and girl-oriented discussion groups.

This online version of the popular teen magazine provides more substance than most of its teen magazine counterparts. Besides articles on fashion, music, boys, and celebrities, this site offers a detailed "Entertainment Buzz" section which spells out what's watch-worthy for teens. Besides music and film, this section tracks all the hot TV shows with times, channels, and short programming previews.

The bastion of youth culture, MTV, and its Web site chronicle mainstream pop and alternative music trends as well as the fashions that follow them. Because playing videos 24 hours a day is a thing of the past, MTV provides a program viewing guide on its Web site. The viewing guide contains synopses of the station's shows for a quick read on what exactly "TRL" and "Head Trip" are. A helpful feature on the site is the ability to search for artists by name. The section provides photos, a discography, a brief description of the artist, and—if your computer can handle it—segments of the videos.

The look and content of this Web site is more likely to attract middle to older teens than preteens. The "Trendspotting" page (under the "Fashion & Beauty" section) keeps close tabs on what's in—updating the list every week! The "Entertainment" section provides entertainment news headlines, music and movie reviews, and day-to-day TV previews featuring only the most popular of shows. If your computer can accommodate the files, you can even download music and watch previews of films.
