Cats and Social Media

 Cats on the internet has been a big craze for a long time. Its often used as a joke but companies have set out to make it a reality. Catmoji is a website where you can post pictures of your cats. Although, this is not an advanced tool it seems like since it was such a hot topic for a long time this was bound to happen. Maybe next there will be cat dating sites? Who know with the vast options that are out there in the  Web 2.0 world.

Maybe this is a  good way to get people to start getting familiar with tools on the internet. If they are not so  keen on putting their information online why not start with their animal to ease into it. Based on the Our Social Times article talks about PetNet ans Scratching Post these cat networks allow cats to "type", share advice and pictures. They relate the cat network back to how consumers are sharing information online. It is not just a place for cats lovers to unite but gives them outlet for what they like to do.

  1. Cat people were waiting for some love. They found it on the internet. Took long enough! Dog people can be so superior sometimes, but cats are seriously hilarious. I like your thought about it being an intro to web tools. Makes it all seem a little less intimidating.
