Man's Best Friendster? Fellow http://www.Friendster.com users may be surprised to note that there's competition in the cyber social scene thanks to a newly launched site for the love of dogs. The official http://www.Dogster.com was conceptualized by seemingly bored dot-com canine lovers in the San Francisco area who wanted to create an overzealous social networking for their best animal friends. Exclusively for dogs, the site provides man's best friends with their own Web pages with pictures, likes and dislikes, along with links to adoption and rescue shelters.
According to Dogster, when the site launched in January, it entertained a mere 100 dogs. Since then, thousands of pooches have been signed on from all over the world. And while other pet lovers have tried to include non-canine species, Dogster is strict about its doggy door policy.
Because of the popularity, the site is growing its content in the meantime, too. Obituaries about famous celebrity dog deaths are featured. Dogster also launched advice columns that tackle such topics as house training and behavior modification in "I Like it Ruff" and "Barking Dog News." But if dog owners are very lucky, then their own pets may get spotlighted as "dog of the week." The Bay Area's http://www.SFGate.com reported that one such dog, a silver-haired Chihuahua, made the cut for his uncanny likeness to Pop artist Andy Warhol.
Famous for 15 minutes, indeed.
