Memepire
July 10, 2008Just an FYI everybody, there’s an article on 4chan in the WSJ, so that means it’s time to wrap the whole thing up. Had a nice run but all good things and all that.
Also:
Last September, Ben Huh and a team of investors purchased “I Can Has Cheezburger,” a site that aggregated the “LOLcats.” Mr. Huh hopes to turn the 4chan-generated tradition into a meme empire with several other related sites in the works. The site now has more than 2.5 million unique visitors a month, according to Mr. Huh, and a book based on the site is coming this fall for Gotham Books.
“Meme empire” makes me die a little on the inside.
