CuteOverload Pet Blog Finds Success in Print and on the Web

by Tim Stevens on August 20, 2008 at 10:30 AM



Feeling down? Need a little pick-me-up? Like ridiculously cute pictures of ridiculously cute things? Well gosh, you've just got to check out CuteOverload.com, a site wholly dedicated to cute updates of cute things. It started three years ago as a little test blog for kicks, and now has grown into the beginnings of an aww-inspiring empire, selling the entire supply of its first calendar on Amazon.com in just 24 hours.

The site specializes in random pictures of random things that will make you smile (or gag, depending on your penchant for such things). There are shots of everything from puppies with stuffed animals to cuddly looking grizzly bears at the zoo. There's little commentary to clutter the pics, most submitted by readers to Meg Frost, who runs the site and still holds down a day job at Apple as a designer. But, with her cute empire growing and taking over the best-seller charts on Amazon, we think we see a career change ahead -- a very fuzzy one. [Source: The New York Times]
