Last night, a friend mentioned Dogbook. Dogbook, I thought, what whimsy is this? So I googled it and sure enough, it's real. It's an application within Facebook, but for DOGS. You create profiles, put up status updates and post pictures. Your dog can even have friends.
Since I don't have a dog, I thought, hey, maybe there's a CATbook. Indeed there is, friends. I just spent an hour creating profiles for my cats. MY CATS. I wrote thought provoking and funny entries for their Interests. I went through all of my pictures looking for good ones of our furry babies. I even contemplated inviting people to be "cat" friends. But then a touch of sanity returned.
Just so you other animal lovers don't feel left out, there is also Horsebook, Fishbook and Bunnybook (ahem, Julie), there's even Rodentbook.
Heaven help us.
Are you teasing me?? Na uhh! Tell me more! Tell me more! I wanna be in cat book!
ReplyDelete(seriously...tell me more! how do I do it??)
Um, WOW.
ReplyDeletefurther proof that we all have WAAAAAYYYY too much time on our hands :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, my dog could use a little social networking!
ReplyDeleteCara, Do you need me to stage an intervention? J/K. No, really. Do you?
ReplyDeleteOkay, you have taken this social media thing a bit far! Are you becoming one of those crazy *ahem* eccentric cat people that start blogs for their cats too? LOL
ReplyDeleteHaha! I knew about Dogbook but I thought it was kinda silly to set up profiles for my chihuahuas.... now I feel like I'm totally behind the times for having not done so. grr!
ReplyDeleteI just don't even have words for this...
ReplyDeleteI supposed Gerbils have to suffer under RodentBook but they would seem to warrent their own.
I don't have a Gerbil mind you. They're just a group I try to take care of.
Oh good gravy. that's crazy. lol
ReplyDeleteSo stinkin' funny. Maybe my cat can be friends with your cat? Have you met Charlie?
ReplyDeleteOK, Lewis is NOT getting on Catbook. Uh-uh. No way.
ReplyDeleteIs this for real? Tell me it's not.
What about for birds? Would they have to twitter? Tweet- Tweet!
ReplyDeleteJust what I need ... another internet addiction!:)
ReplyDeleteCatbook? For reals? When I read this post, my cat jumped down from the desk where the computer is. I guess she's not interested.
ReplyDeleteI am NOT so crazy as to add a Bunnybook application to my Facebook profile. But I uh, DO have Catbook on there. Yep. With all my cats and their profiles. Hey... our cats can be Facebook friends. I mean, that would be crazy.
ReplyDeleteWell, hey -- you have to have something to do to pass away these longggggggg weeks of winter!
ReplyDeleteHere's keeping my fingers crossed your cats become popular. Having lots of friends, even in catland, is a good thing!
That's funny! I'm addicted to Facebook too, but I had no idea there was a Dogbook/Catbook, or whatever...I'd better not get into that. How about a Pigbook? Is there one of those...they wouldn't want to alienate those pot bellied pig owners. Jeesh
ReplyDeleteI share the facebook addiction, but luckily have no pets. I say "luckily" because I don't know where I would find the time to craft status updates for them and help them let their friends' kitties are adorable.
ReplyDeleteOn a mostly unrelated note, at my college, the book of pictures, names, and hobbies for all new students was called (non-officially) the "dogbook." I never thought to ask why.
O-kay even though iI love my cats I don't think I have time to do this sounds wonderful for all those fur babies to make the connecton LOL because we all know they need it right? anyhooo is it just one more thing to suck up my time LOL thanks but I think I will pass on this one just this time Heehee
