Has the Internet Gone to the Dogs (and Cats)?
Maybe - So what?

Saw an article at this site (can't quite figure out WHO it is) that says the Internet has gone to the dogs, and cats, and other pets. The article cites a number of communities online that serve pets and pet people.

We love them, of course. Especially the Dogsters and Catsters of the web. And, PetCentric, which we talked about this week...re: Critter Carols. "If you asked me three years ago what a social network was, I wouldn't have been able to tell you," admits Bob Vetere, president of the American Pet Products Association (APPA). His blog, btw, is Pet Industry Insight. Do hop over and visit it.

Anyway, I found a few new sites in the article and I thought I'd share.

MyCatSpace is the MySpace for Cats. Lots of kewl pics. Love the kitten on the homepage. And, yes, there's a MyDogSpace, too.

Petster.com serves all pets but it looks like the dogs and cats rule. Their tagline says Where Pets Rule, though.

ZooToo seems interesting. There's an ad for Marley & Me, which you know is sponsored by Purina...cause we said so right here on this blog.

One site not mentioned that is this new and growing site that is sure to be a big hit. (after all WE love it! Don't you?): Pawfun... where you can easily put your pet's picture on a T-shirt. Stay tuned for the official launch. Visit the Pawfun blog, while you're waiting.

And so, has the Internet gone to the dogs and cats? What do you think? Share your favorite pet community site... I have another to share soon...so stay tuned!
