Even Dogs Need To IM Too
Pooch lovers (and by extension the pooches themselves,) who are members of the Dogster social network will soon be able to instant message each other. The San Francisco-based company is going to introduce the IM service later this month. (Another micro-IM network? We are seeing a trend here!)
Over a foo-foo coffee drink at Om Office 2.0, founder & CEO Ted ‘Top Dog’Rheingold said that he wants to introduce a video chat as well. He wants to bring pooches of the world together. He was gracious enough to thank the relatively easy availability of broadband. To that we say…. bow wow wow!
