"It's not so much about the pets but the practice of assuming a false identity that 'hurts the quality of communication' on [Facebook]" - Justin Smith of 'Inside Facebook'

If you ask me, this is just weird for people to be posing as their pets online. Thank goodness I noticed that the examples used in the article were not dog owners.

Here are social networks devoted just to pets mentioned in the article:

Critterscorner.ning.com, Catster.com, Dogster.com and myDogspace.com. Please consider maintaining the integrity and quaility of communication on Facebook.

Thanks,
