Doggyspace.com has its day as social sites get more focused

During the launch of Google App Engine, my idea for a test site was a pet owners social networking site, with the ability to put in contact info / special needs and the pet's collar / Avid chip ID, so that a lost pet could be cared for as well as possible until it was returned.

I'm glad someone is working in this space but the tone of the site (acting like you're your dog) seems a little lame to me. Best of luck to them, either way.

Is this the same type thing as dogster?

I saw dogster a while ago and went, "dang, great idea. Too bad I didn't think of it first." I'm never optimistic enough about the space in a niche for > 1 players.
