Social networks go a little too far at Pet Files


Christmas Eve 2007 will live in infamy as the day social networking went too far for us. We woke up this morning, not to the sounds of Christmas music, or the sight of brightly wrapped presents under our tree but, to a press release from Pet Files, a social network for pets. Pet Files lets you build unlimited pet profile pages, publish unlimited photos and videos of your pets, along with several other features we find infinitely baffling.

We love our pets, don't get us wrong, but unless Fluffy learns to type and masters the English language, Pet Files misses the mark for us. We burn far too much time on social networking sites promoting ourselves as it is. Even if everyone got together and slowed down the planet, adding several additional hours to the day which we could use to keep up with social networks, we'd be hard pressed to burn those extra hours in our day making e-friends on Fluffy's behalf.
