Fido Factor Launch Party

Fido Factor Launch Party

Posted on 01. Jul, 2009 by Mark in Events

Last Friday I was invited to the launch lunch for a new dog-centric website called Fido Factor held at at the San Francisco SPCA, who happens to be their partner. Fido Factor’s twist on the whole pet social networking thing is as a review site for all things dog friendly in San Francisco. Plus, for each review or new listing made for a pet-friendly place, Fido Factor will make a donation to the SFSPCA.

As with most social networking sites dependent on user-generated content the quality and validity of the reviews is dependent on participation by an enthusiastic user base so please check out Fido Factor and add new businesses, parks and other pet-oriented places you know about but don’t see listed or add your two cents to listings that are already there.

    Chihuahuas always make me wonder: how can you look in two different directions at the same time?
