THERE'S A NEW SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE WHERE YOU CAN TRACK MOUNTAIN GORILLAS
Tuesday September 1st, 2009

Yesterday, officials in Uganda announced that they're launching a new social networking website later this month.  It's called FriendAGorilla.org, and it'll allow users to track to the movements of MOUNTAIN GORILLAS.

According to Ugandan officials, once users pay the $1 fee to sign up, they'll be able to watch live video feeds of mountain gorillas in the wild, and they'll even be able to track the gorillas' movements by GPS. 

Plus, they'll receive weekly updates alerting them of new births, and other gorilla-related info. 

A spokesperson for the Uganda Wildlife Authority says, "All this will be possible by one logging on the website FriendAGorilla.org, which will work in the same way as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.

"Once you befriend a gorilla, you will be interacting with your gorilla friend on a weekly basis, and you will get updates on the movement of your gorilla friend."  (Yahoo News / East African Business Weekly)
