  • ... that American website ChickClick was owned by the same company who owned IGN? Source: IGN (article): "Imagine started the female-centric Chick Click site (whose offices were quickly moved away from those of the IGN editors for reasons too numerous to mention)."
    • ALT1:... that American website ChickClick also had a free e-mail and web hosting known as Chickmail and Chickpages? Source: Adweek (article): "Those include free Internet server space for members to build their own homepages (which the company calls Chickpages and Estropages) and free e-mail accounts (called Chickmail and Estromail)."
    • ALT2:... that American website ChickClick was once run by three people? Source: SF Gate (article): "Even now, we only have a staff of three people!"
    • ALT3:... that ChickClick was run by a graduate student from Stanford University and her younger sister? Source: SF Gate (article): Swanson is joined in running Chickclick by her sister Heather who, at 22, is, like Heidi, becoming a new media star in her own right... "I was in the middle of Stanford MBAs," she shrugs. "I just didn't fit in."
