Further Proof: It is all about cats

It is often said that the Internet is all about cats. One reason why the classic LOLCats - Icanhascheezburger struck such a chord.

Blog headlines site alltop has a category for Cute that is mostly blogs about animals, often cats, sometimes puppies, being, well, overwhelmingly, distressingly cute. Gems like stuffonmycat.com.

But my mom sent over some YouTube videos today that just sum it all up for me. Please enjoy Simon's Cat by director Simon Tofield.

Let Me In!

So I am in the middle of writing a fairly serious post about customer service, and then I found this video by the writers of the Colbert Report on YouTube.

Enjoy.

So is it Monday or Thursday?

Doesn't matter to me because today is my birthday and I am pretty much goofing off, playing with puppies and clearing out my feed reader of all that good stuff I "saved for later."

Enjoy!

Yes, it is all about CATS

At New Comm Forum in March, one of the points on keynoter David Weinberger's slides was that the Internet was not all about Cats.

Well, maybe. But it does seem like there are an awful lot of cats online. Some recent data points:

when you sign up for StumbleUpon, you are offered an interest category for Cats, but not Dogs;
this gem, LOLCat Builder, via Elisa Camahort:

In case you can't quite tell, the animal emerging from the pet door is one of our scottie puppies.

So take a break from twitting and go build your own clever cat image. And, don't worry, if you don't have a cat of your own, there are plenty of images to choose from :-)

Because yes, it is all about cats.
