In early May 1997 a New York Times writer, Joe Hutsko, published a daily diary of his interaction with his Tamagotchi virtual pet. It was published in the Cyber-Times edition of the New York Times. The articles even referenced our web site (Day #3 and Week #2). You can read his diary by doing some searching on the Times link above (we encourage you to check out the New York Times Cyber-Times edition, it is an excellent news source) which has the diary "spruced up" with graphics, some additional references, and a few colorful images, or you can go for the mostly text version we have archived below.
