Another Accidentally Successful Dot Com
from the I-see-a-trend... dept
While everyone and their big money backers were trying and failing to make teen-focused web content, a real-life teenager was building a hugely successful teen site. It's funny how those things work. 15-year-old Ashley Powers started Goosehead.com for fun after she moved to a new school. It's quickly turning into a teen entertainment empire involving Richard Dreyfuss, NBC, MGM, Disney, and (of course) a whole bunch of teenagers.

Re: Goosehead.com
Do you know what ended up happening to Ashley? I have heard a lot of rumors in regards to her Father. Is it true her Father was abusing her? Is that why the site closed down?
