Social networks go a little too far at Pet Files
Christmas Eve 2007 will live in infamy as the day social networking went too far for us. We woke up this morning, not to the sounds of Christmas music, or the sight of brightly wrapped presents under our tree but, to a press release from Pet Files, a social network for pets. Pet Files lets you build unlimited pet profile pages, publish unlimited photos and videos of your pets, along with several other features we find infinitely baffling.
We love our pets, don't get us wrong, but unless Fluffy learns to type and masters the English language, Pet Files misses the mark for us. We burn far too much time on social networking sites promoting ourselves as it is. Even if everyone got together and slowed down the planet, adding several additional hours to the day which we could use to keep up with social networks, we'd be hard pressed to burn those extra hours in our day making e-friends on Fluffy's behalf.

So dogster and catster are okay, but as soon as a guinea pig gets involved, party's over? How... speciesist.

does anyone else think it sounds a little to similar to the word Pedophile?
Pet 0 file?

Great one! I actually used Dogster for hosting my dog's profile...but this one looks (graphically speaking) so much better...hope it works at the same level. I'm giving it a try.
