A pet's facebook

Facebook.com, a social networking website, is almost unanimously considered to be new media. Therefore, I think anamigo.com should be as well. This website has every main aspect of my definition of new media: it is instant, it allows for personalization, and it allows for interaction. Anamigo is a website in which users make pages for their pets, whether it be a dog, cat, rabbit, or monkey. These users then interact with other pet-lovers, as they can write on each other's pages, post and comment on photos, make play dates for their pets, and more.

Although this sounds much like facebook, anamigo goes one step further, as it also enables fellow pet lovers to find pet necessities in their areas, such as veterinarians, shelters, food and clothing shops, and more. In these regards, I think anamigo is a great place for pet lovers to make friends with other pet lovers, while their pets become friends as well.
