Social Networking for Dog Lovers

Came across this article about a social networking site for dog lovers in the UK (April 11th). A gent started this site, which can be thought of as similar to Facebook or Myspace but specific to dogs: www.k9united.com Apparently there's a super dog store and blogging as special features of the site.

Got me thinking, what about Portland? And sure enough, there's a social networking site specifically for Portlandia Dog Lovers:  http://pdxdog.com/ (founder: Andrea Schneider). As far as I can tell, the site is legitimate and one of the biggest for the Portland area. Found this article mentioning pdxdog, the theory is the new trend is creating social network sites that are specific to users' needs and interests, forming communities that are not only web-based but can also interact in real life.

I think I'll give it a try!
