. . . Hamsterster.com? I just read about it in Newsweek. It's a social-networking site for hams, so-to-speak.
From Newsweek:
"Ultimately, the sites are another way for humans to connect. Owners, who communicate with one another mainly in the voices of their animals, usually wind up making human friends."
Here's what the site has to say about itself:
"It is intended to be amusing but is not a complete joke. After Dogster became a hit, HAMSTERster was a natural addition to the list of community sites modeled after the O.G., Friendster. The addition of "ster" to a word which already ends with those four letters only accentuates how silly the names of these sites are in the first place. However, the internet is a place for everyone, and thus the hamsters and hamster lovers should have their place, too. This site has not been created to make money (seriously) but simply for fun."
Has anyone posted their hamster's profile here? (Gerbils are accepted too.)
