Funny cat pics
Source:- Google.com.pkJust when Eric and Kari were feeling like they needed to make hard decisions about the future of the website due to the increasing workload and the natural evolution it was making toward becoming a "real business" with real business issues, a glitch answered the question for them.
Across the country, Internet entrepreneur Ben Huh had a blog about the daily adventures of his dog in Seattle. During the cat food contamination scare of 2007, Ben got his hands on a list of the responsible company's customers, revenues, and facility locations and posted it online. ICHC was one of many animal-focused sites that linked to Ben's list. As a result, the site traffic was much more than ICHC's server could take, and it crashed.
Eventually, ICHC was up and running again, but the hiccup connected Kari and Eric with Ben, who would turn out to be a key player in their lives. Ben liked what he saw on ICHC and began working to get investors on board. He ultimately offered Kari and Eric $2 million for the site in September of 2007; they accepted. The newfound fortune was just what Kari needed to follow in Eric's footsteps and quit her day job as a web editor for Pacific Basin Communications.
Kari keeps a very low profile these days. Eric went on to take numerous speaking engagements about online communities and web development and founded SimpleHoney, which was recently acquired by OpenCoin. As for those LOLcats, they are still gracing the smart phones and company computers of bored workers across America and beyond. After Huh bought the site, he developed the Cheezburger Network—a slew of sister sites such as FAIL Blog, Know Your Meme, and Memebase. He even starred in LOLWork, a 2012 reality show, which followed the lives of Cheezburger Network employees on Bravo.
After a particularly bad "case of the Mondays" at work–okay, maybe it wasn't a Monday, but some Lumberg-type characters were undoubtedly involved, Eric dialed up Kari for some healthy venting. In an attempt to cheer up her pal, Kari emailed him a photo of a very portly cat from a Russian cat food ad that had given her a giggle. She whimsically placed the words, "I Can Has Cheezburger?" over the photo. This sent Eric into fits of laughter (Laughter, Out Loud to be exact) and he thought it would be funny to put the photo online to share with friends. Within minutes he had purchased the domain name, icanhascheezburger and out went Professor Happycat into cyberspace. It is with that move that the LOLcat craze was born and Eric and Kari's checking accounts got much larger.
