Clearly, you're not a dog owner, Casey. :)
I've been watching this company for a while. They just released
the snif tag, and chances are pretty good my dog will be getting one
for Christmas. It's a pretty innovative use of the technology, and I
can just picture this
being used on kids next. :)
In addition to the "social" aspect of it, imagine sending your dog to
doggy day care and being able to monitor his activity level using
snif. Or if you have a dog w/a particular ailment, but can't bring the
dog to work, you can monitor their activity level—too inactive and you
know something's wrong.
I'm fortunate that I bring my dog to work w/me just about every day,
but I can see the usefulness of this on the days she's too lazy to get
out of bed—gotta love the life of an English bulldog.
Cheers!

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
