First off, thanks for taking a break from your social networking site(s) to read this. We all end up getting sucked into the world of joining groups, writing on walls, posting blogs and engaging in borderline stalking, but why should you have all the fun? Why not your pet?

PetSmooch.com is a free social networking site for pets and pet lovers -- a fun cross between a dog park and an Internet cafe, minus the poop and overpriced lattes. On PetSmooch, you can connect with other pet people, find a playmate for your pet, join rescue efforts, post pet journals, create profiles for yourself and your pet, and more. As its owners say, "It's MySpace without the mess and Facebook without the fluff."

It's okay to sniff. Visit PetSmooch and meet other pet lovers today.

As if it weren't awesome enough that Shoes.com offers free shipping and free returns, they also have a once-a-month Saturday Sale where you can save up to 60% on the most popular styles and brands. No, not last year's sandals or last season's winter boots, but more current trends you actually want.

From 7am to midnight on April 12, log onto Shoes.com and get yourself a pair of new shoes for spring. You can search by category (dress, casual, athletic), by brand (Stuart Weitzman, Steve Madden, Michael Kors), by size, by price, by color -- almost anything.

Can't wait until Saturday? Visit Shoes.com now to check out the latest styles.

Ever wanted a personal trainer to help you go the distance? Don't bother. Instead, you can log onto MapMyRun.com and get free access to TONS of tools and technology to help you with your runs, jogs and overall fitness/health.

On MapMyRun.com, you can map out local runs, draw your route with stopping points and find public routes with the site's mapping tool; view your training summary with the monthly calendar; record your runs, gym time, kickboxing class and other aerobic activities with a workout log; track sleep patterns, weight changes and morale with a daily log; track your shoe (over)use with the shoe tracker; and access tons of interactive calculators, including a calorie calculator, BMI calculator and several more.

Get your workout on track with MapMyRun.com.
