The Shiba Inu puppy cam on Ustream.tv was a phenomenon when I wrote about it 15 days ago. At 1500 viewers at a time and 800,000 total hits, it was a huge hit.

Now, the puppies are getting bigger and the viewership has increased tenfold. With about 15,000 viewers at a time and a whopping 4 million total hits, it’s no surprise that Ustream.tv is hooking up the soon-to-be new owners of the puppies with cameras so viewers can keep up on the dogs.

Some big time publicity hasn’t hurt Ustream either. It’s more apparent as time goes by that people don’t want to watch narcissistic tools broadcast their own boring lives all day. They’d rather watch puppies.

I’ve got dibs on kitten cam.
