Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have increasing numbers of profiles of pets, in fact, one in ten of pets in the UK have either their own Facebook or Twitter profile or YouTube channel. Owners are normally on these social networking sites themselves and so choose to open a separate account for their pets also, just for the fun of it. I’m sure that everyone who hasn’t got a profile for their own pets, will know of someone who has. The demand is there and even Mark Zuckerberg has a Facebook profile for his dog called Beast. A social media specialist commented: ‘ We use sites like Facebook and Twitter as an extension of our real-world selves and when we think of our pets as part of the family we want them involved too.’
Have you got a Facebook/Twitter profile for you pet or did you put a video clip of your pet on YouTube? Do you think it is a good idea?
