I wrote an piece on this when it first came out. I personally am quite impressed with Shine. It looks and feels "feminine".

I also like the fact that Shine is a Meta-Vertical so it's nothing like the other content specific sites Yahoo! have.

For anyone that has a health and beauty site that is reading this post. I seriously recommend to get posting on Shine. It could bring serious and quality traffic to your site.

Great Site launched by Yahoo it's been seen that they are considering and making new implementation according to their new updates.

The site is very impressive as after Yahoo Buzz!! it's the time for Shine.

I think it will be on par with OMG, if not better because it's more structured towards the "normal" females.

Interesting that Yahoo! are promoting it over there own brand tho..
