You are at tk here: Meow? Woof! Meow!

While I'm on the subject of social networking, other than Playboy launching its own Playboy U, I caught sight of bizarre (to me at least) additions to Facebook, Catbook and Dogbook, by Alexandre Roche.

As you may have guessed, these Facebook apps allow you your pets (seriously?) to meet other pet owners cute cuddly creatures online (essentially Facebook for cats or dogs, etc). And it's really popular too (over 500k pets in 3 months), even though it is simply another avenue for pet lovers to meet online.

Like normal Facebook, Catbook and Dogbook allows pets to ask other pets to add them as friends. Inter-species friendship (clerks 2 for you!) is also allowed. By clicking on a pet's profile, you can "stroke" a cat or "pet" a dog.

Here's a screenshot of Catbook, since I prefer cats (not that I don't like dogs).


I wonder what other weird stuff they will think of. Maybe Plantbook?

Visit Catbook and Dogbook (Facebook account required, and they are not catbook.com or dogbook.com contary to popular belief!)
