"People are buzzing about buzzing," says Wharton marketing professor <a href="http://hops.wharton.upenn.edu/people/faculty/kahn.html">Barbara Kahn</a>. "People think it's cool.

Woof Woof! [mailto:dogsters@dogster.com] <br />Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 10:38 PM<br />To: Cynthia Typaldos<br />Subject: Happy Holidays from Dogster<br /><br /><br />Dear Dogster members,<br /><br />Woof Woof Bark!<br /><br />Have you seen the Holiday Picture Party yet? Over 1,550 pets have already<br />posted a seasonal pix. Is your fluffy part of the fun? Join and you could<br />win one of fifty free dog or cat books from HCI Publishing. To join the<br />party or take a stroll, just go to:<br /><br /> http://www.dogster.com/hpp/<br /><br />By the way, did you know Dogster now has over 51,000 dogs and Catster more<br />than 15,500 cats! When Dogster launched in January I could barely imagine<br />10,000 doggies. Now we have two sites; 65,000 pets; 50,000 users from 130<br />countries; 900,000 friend-to-friend connections; 662,000 pet votes cast;<br />450,000 treats shared; 352,000 corralled favorites; 40,000 messages sent;<br />5,000 dairy writers and one really busy web server. I may have put my heart<br />and soul into this, but without your beautiful photos, colorful entries and<br />profound love for your furry family members it would be nothing but a bunch<br />of lonely web code! So, I sincerely thank you and offer virtual belly rubs<br />and head pats for a job well done.<br /><br />Also we added more new features. If you want you can control who sends you<br />friend invites and you can optionally receive an email when you have new<br />Dogster private messages. We even added a holiday Gift Giving Guide to help<br />find something for even the pickiest pooches. What other new features would<br />you like to see in the site? Tell us:<br /> http://www.dogster.com/contact.php<br /><br />Thanks for loving the sites and know as the years roll by, you'll be able to<br />say, "I joined Dogster in the very first year!"<br /><br />Safe holidays and a barktastic new year,<br /><br />Ted Rheingold<br />Founder and local Top Dog<br />http://www.dogster.com<br /><br /><br />Sam the black GSDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02085118323368698551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089759.post-1102609979218741402004-12-09T08:32:00.000-08:002004-12-09T08:32:59.216-08:00Ben Franklin on professional recommendationsThis is an amazing document.

By inviting the<br />Internet behind its "Great Firewall," the Chinese government has unwittingly<br />opened a Pandora's Box of free discourse that threatens its totalitarian<br />stranglehold on the media.<br /><br />The entire story may be viewed at<br />http://www.utne.com/webwatch/2004_176/news/11478-1.html<br /><br /><br />Sam the black GSDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02085118323368698551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089759.post-1101842760894185572004-11-30T11:26:00.000-08:002004-11-30T11:26:00.893-08:00Ohmynews - citizen journalism in South Korea<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:st1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <head> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;
