No one can succeed on her own. Even the savviest women need help along the way. To that end, with the help of the ForbesWoman community, we’ve searched the Web for the most dynamic, inspiring and helpful websites for women. We’re delighted to present this list of ForbesWoman’s Top 100 Websites for Women.

To determine which sites and blogs made the cut we looked for compelling and decidedly female-oriented content, outstanding design, an active community and frequent updates. In short, sheer clickyness.

coolmom.com: TV host and pop culture writer Daphne Brogdon blogs and posts videos to fuel the “momversation.”

Under CEO Michael Wayne’s direction, this premium-video provider has gotten in touch with its feminine side. That may come as a surprise, and not only because the conventional wisdom held that young males are easy pickings online. It’s also because the most recognizable faces on its programming slate may be dudes like Web-celeb dudes like Diggnation’s Alex Albrecht, who moonlights for DECA’s “Project Lore,” or the comedic duo behind YouTube-bred sensation “Smosh.”

But Wayne began steering the company toward female-friendly programming 18 months ago hot on the heels of DECA’s first breakout hit, “Momversation.” Now he’s lured over 25 branded entertainment deals to a slew of series targeting women covering parenting, food and there will be more launched later in 2010. ‘Momversation’ was a real paradigm shift for us,” said Wayne, a former Sony exec who launched DECA three years ago with venture-capital financing.“We had to capitalize on that hit.”

Wayne’s next strategic shift will be distributing its programming off its homegrown sites, including female-targeted portals, mobile and entirely offline product extensions. That’s a big change for Wayne, whose always flouted the hyperdistribution mode but the new plan nods to his TV roots at Sony. “We have a portfolio of O&O sites for women,” he said. “Now we’re going to expand into our affiliates network.”

Check out this article in today’s Los Angeles Times also featuring Aarti and other contestants on the show:

They All Want to be The Next Guy Fieri

She’s Indian, speaks with a lovely trill and has a kittenish sex appeal that will remind you of Nigella.

But Aarti Sequeira would really prefer that you describe her as the next Guy Fieri.

Sequeira is one of three L.A.-area contestants who have cooked and campaigned their way onto Season 6 of “The Next Food Network Star,” which premieres Sunday night on the cable channel with a celebrity-studded season set in Los Angeles. Among those scheduled to appear along with judge Bobby Flay and this season’s mentor, Giada De Laurentiis, will be actress and restaurateur Eva Longoria Parker.

Despite the buzz about the iPad or Foursquare, audiences and revenues generated by programming on PCs or wireless devices is still a pittance compared with that on such established mediums as film and TV. But measured by the more intangible metric of influence, even the slightest innovation can portend big changes to come in the evolving media business.

Which makes the accomplishments of the 50 men and women highlighted in The Hollywood Reporter’s third annual Digital Power issue worth noting.

On Sunday, May 23rd  some of our team woke up bright and early to participate in the 11th Annual Bruin Run/Walk, a 5K benefiting the Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA. The event was hosted by Dakota Fanning and brought together UCLA students, faculty and members of the greater LA community. There were live performances, free food and giveaways as well as a silent auction and prizes. It was fun-filled morning despite the light rain that momentarily rolled in. Team DECA ran a great race!

Congratulations to Chris Kimbell (VP Programming) for finishing first in our team at 24:33!

Parents Ask has been selected as an Official Honoree for the Family/Parenting category in The 14th Annual Webby Awards.

As a result of the exceptional quality of submissions this year, the Academy has recognized outstanding entries as Official Honorees alongside the Nominees. The Official Honoree distinction is awarded to the top 15% of all work entered that exhibits remarkable achievement. With nearly 10,000 entries received from all 50 states and over 60 countries, this is an outstanding accomplishment for the entire team of Parents Ask.

So in considering whether or not to continue making a show like the now-defunct Bush League TV, “We look at it as: ‘Is this business heading into profitability or not?’” If it isn’t, they shut it down. “When you shut down a brand and you don’t take it offline, it can look bad, and that inevitably doesn’t reflect well on the company,” he said.

Of course, DECA’s focus has also changed dramatically over the last few years, as they’ve started almost exclusively targeting women over 25 with shows like Momversation and Good Bite, which partner nicely with brands. They only got to that place, though, after experiments like Bush League. “At the end of the day, you have to take risks, and you’re never going to be successful 100 percent of the time,” Wayne said.
