Cat or Dog Health Issues? Try WebVet.

September 18, 2023 By Andrew G. R. 3 Comments

Last night I was searching Web MD high and low for a solution for my mother’s Trigeminal Neuralgia (ouch!).  While I never really uncovered a solution to ease the pain, one thing’s certain: there are no shortage of medical Web sites to scare the jeepers out of you.

However, should the health of your pet fail, it can be an equally alarming experience.  It looks like little Lucky is in luck!  Launching today is WebVet, a content repository for information on dogs, cat, bird and other small animals’ health issues.

From Lyme disease to rabies, you can uncover symptoms of each condition.  Twenty-five freelance writers produce the content. The cool part is that all articles are approved by a licensed veterinarian.  The site also indicates when the content was last reviewed for accuracy.

Current competition includes Petside.  Look for WebVet to expand its offering to exotics, fish and farm animals in the near future.

How to Be a Better Dad

September 15, 2023 By Andrew G. R. 2 Comments

Just like Twitter asks, ‘What are you doing right now?’ – a new Website wants you to answer the following: ‘How am I going to be a better dad?’

Odadeo is a new social network that aims to help fathers keep their promises, make pledges and lean on other dads for support and advice.

Whether you’re stuck at work late on a regular basis or find yourself losing your temper, Odadeo lets you track the progress of the things you care about.

There is also a microblogging aspect to the site that allows registered users to post updates via Web or SMS.

Kids are a focus of the equation too. Dads can create a page for each of their kids with plenty of privacy options. Of course, rounding out the social experience are photos, videos, and blog posts.

Odadeo is currently in private alpha, so only select dads make it in.
