The Internet is making us crazy

Remember the 1990s when everyone was making money on the internet but then it turned out no one was really making money on the internet? If only those guys back then had known the secret to making money on the net was cats. Cats and Trollfaces. Cats, Trollfaces and Rickrolls. Cats, Trollfaces, Rickrolls and Sad Keanus...

Andrew Baron, operator of Rocketboom, confirmed on his blog that the popular internet culture encyclopedia Know Your Meme has been purchased by Ben Huh’s Cheezburger Network for a “a super seven figure deal.” The announcement on Baron’s blog comes shortly after the news was broken by Tubefilter earlier this afternoon.

The Cheezburger network, which includes such web staples as Fail Blog, Memebase, and The Daily What, recently raised over $30 million with plans for a large-scale expansion of the network’s staff and the sites they operate.
