It's actually been more than a few weeks since Lorna Harris launched Boudica.com in Beta. The 'social news site for women' now appears to be slowly evolving.
Harris is married to Danny Sullivan, founder of Search Engine Watch (since sold) and currently owner of Search Engine Land (and it's other properties including Sphinn and SMX).
It's safe to say that the start-up will get a LOT of exposure as site continues to be developed.
Boudica.com has taken a clean, relatively simple (and yes, SEO friendly :) approach to it's format. News, Arts, House, Time-Off and Talk are the primary categories with 'Digg-like' voting onboard.
At this stage, it may be a ground floor opportunity to join for those that play in that space.
