Doggyspace
Doggyspace is a social networking site that allows canine owners to share their pets aside from just themselves. A combination of Youtube and Myspace, dog owners can post videos, blogs, and pics of their pups. “It’s not so much social networking; it’s having a social experience around things that we care about, so pets are just such a great example of that,” said Fred Stutzman, an Internet researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Doggyspace can be a source of information about pet breeds, diseases, support for first timers, etc. “Connie Mandrozos found the site while searching for information for her 12-year-old golden retriever, Boomer, who has cancer. She received an outpouring of support from other dog owners with similar experiences.”

This is the first time that I have heard of this social networking site and the overall outlook of it sounds pretty neat. It’s cool how you can now not only look up someone or talk to someone on the internet but now you can also blog about your pets. Another neat tool is how you can post videos and pictures so that instead of just posts you can enjoy media as well. Sound like a great invention for social networking.
