Got an email, feedback to my recent piece on Dogster:

Ted Rheingold

I'm Ted Rheingold and among other things I do the site Dogster. Clearly you think about net-based communities quite a lot. Therefore I'm pleased to see that you get Dogster for what it is. One of the reasons I originally liked the idea of Dogster so much is that it is a sharing site w/o having to risk offense. Visitors leave with positive connections (e.g. "that dog CornNut is so cute") without having to expend any personal commitment. And when they come back the dogs are waiting like good dogs just as they were before, but perhaps w/ more pictures or info ;)

nb: No one knows you're a human on dogster!
