Hey Spot, You’ve Got Mail (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/06/fashion/06cyber.html?_r=1&oref=slogin)
...Think of Dogster as Facebook for canines. There, my dogs (along with 346,639 other four-legged members, as of last week) had their own profile pages that listed their likes and dislikes, personal mottoes — Otto’s is “Are you going to finish that?” — and best tricks (“catching seedless grapes in mid-air”).
So what if my dogs could barely type, much less upload photos of themselves wearing Santa hats?
We live in an era where there is a social network to cater to any niche group you can think of, including infants whose parents create Facebook profiles for them and then expect the godparents to pretend to correspond with the babies. Why shouldn’t pets arrange play dates online or blog about their health issues?...
It's actually a cute article. Made me laugh a few times.
