I recently attended the WTIA Fast Pitch Forum & Technology Showcase. The conference featured two dozen of the of the hottest technology companies in Washington presenting their business in a competition for “Best In Show”. I Can Haz Cheezburger is well-known online for their hilarious LOLCat pictures.

Pet Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of the I Can Haz Cheezburger website. Creating a Lolcat is simple. Upload a picture, add a caption and share it with the World. There are now tons of options for registered users. You can even re-caption the photos others have submitted!

Lolcats served up 2TB of data in just two weeks. You read that right… two Terrabytes!! When Pet Holdings took over the Lolcats industry, they knew nothing about memes, nor funny cat pictures. They went back to the basics and did what worked. Obviously it worked well, since they’re still in business – and still growing like crazy!

If you haven’t ever visited the Lolcats site, you have no idea what you’re missing. I dare you to go there, and NOT smile.

I put Wicket in my office chair, and had everyone in the live chat take screen grabs of him. I wanted them to make LOLDogs out of his picture, and share them with the World. I did this to promote the new book “I Can Has Cheezeburger?“.

Iz a portable collekshun of pix, wif 5 grammar lessons from Professor Happycat! 200!!! PIX! Some favorites, many new and never seen pix personally chosen out of bajillions by cheez and tofu. Use it to confuse grandma and give you lols and make your day infinity times better!

I had to blockquote that since it explains it so perfectly. If you’ve ever been to the site itself, you know you’re hooked. Admit it – you love the LOLCats! We all do. They’re just plain funny. If you were a part of our community last fall during Gnomedex, you know that Ben Huh was one of our speakers. We had a great time learning how the site began – and laughing hysterically at all of the pictures he brought!

If you love the LOLCats (or dogs!) you definitely have to grab this book. You’ll laugh yourself silly every time you pick it up.

Can I Has Cheezeburger?

Sometimes, I just can’t help myself. I love to be a goof, and I enjoy acting silly. I also love to take pictures, even though I’m definitely not a professional photographer. I consider myself a fairly decent one, though!

Most of all – I love doing neat things with cameras, and with photo software. So, go ahead – give it your best shot! Caption this!
