History of SuperPoke! Pets
SuperPoke! Pets launched April 2008 to social networks; Facebook, MySpace, and Hi5. Slide soon began experimenting with the early app by first releasing gold items in which an app owner could buy gold bars (virtual cash) with real money. In late December 2008, SuperPokePets started work on their own website titled Spp.com or SuperPokePets.com which gave spp app owners on all social networking sites a choice of becoming an spp member for free, so that members could unite into one whole community. Once on the website members could customize their own profiles with their existing pets from the social networks, and participate in activities and features the network apps did not offer.
Following more success, Spp held decorating contests where famous celebrities such as Ashley Tisdale and Keith Urban came to promote their albums such as Tisdale's Guilty Pleasure and Urban's Defying Gravity. Winners were awarded special badges and a copy of the CD.
On August 2010 Slide was acquired by Google and almost a year after, Spp announced drastic changes including removing Gold buying, quests, and updates to the games features, due to the game finally reaching the point where it could grow on its own.
On September 2011 Spp announced that the website would be shut down and go offline March 6, 2012.
As of March 7, 2012 SuperPoke! Pets is no longer available.

Famous quotes containing the words history of, history and/or pets:
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We died like aunts of pets or foreigners.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
