Glenn Close was on Leno last night talking about a new website and catalog company that her husband started called FetchDog. She is even hosting a blog on FetchDog where she will ask her friend’s dogs questions! Fetchdog.com will have community, blogs, forums, resource libraries and information about dog adoption. You can sign up to get a catalog or leave your email address to be alerted when the site goes live later this summer.

Skipping and shunning MySpace seems like a good idea; I am not even sure why the party got started there in the first place.

I just got back into Facebook (well, I’ve been on it for awhile, but really just to check it out initially), now that I’m here it is pretty cool. They’ve really added a ton of features within the last year that make it a nice place to hang out. The interface is simple, intuitive, and other than my wife asking “how is this any different than email” (to which I didn’t have a great answer), the system is pretty powerful.

Facebook is more powerful than LinkedIn; it touts better features, and is just plain more fun. You don’t have the spam of recruiters ruining the place, in fact, other than some stupid sponsored stuff ending up in your news feed, the place is spam-free– and I don’t even feel uncomfortable being in there and posting stuff about my personal life for all to see.

So I am late to the Facebook party, sue me. One of my Facebook friends even asked me what I was doing on it, stating “aren’t you too old for this?”

Well, I don’t think so, and anyway how would they grow if no one was late to the party. All of these social sites need people to continue to join, whether you are first or the last, it doesn’t matter. Someone needs to help keep these inflated valuations going.

I just added a few Netscape RSS feeds to MyESPN page. ESPN has Yahoo advertising on the bottom. So Netscape should contact them and tell them to stop it.

So Netscape can collect stories that people submitted from other sources (sure they add some value reporting to many of them) and put advertising on Netscape.com, but web-based RSS Readers of the world and custom home page places cannot have Netscape’s RSS feeds on them if they are going to put advertising on them.

Silly, isn’t it.
