Catster launches!

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

Well, despite having advance warning from Ted Rheingold, I forgot to blog about the launch of Catster, the sister site to Dogster that I reviewed months ago.

The amazing thing about Dogster's growth is that Ted's intent was to create a very tongue-in-check spoofing of social networking, but because what he did actually works -- people can really make play dates, and post photos, and so on -- its taken off in a more serious way. Tens of thousands of dog pix have been uploaded to date.

Go figure.
