Finally getting around to posting pics from last
week’s TechFlash Live,
TechFlash's quarterly meet-up, at
Seattle's Palace Ballroom. It was a great
evening of drinks, food and networking.
The highlight of the night was an on-stage interview
between TechFlash's John Cook and Ben Huh of
I Can Haz Cheezburger. Who knew
someone could grow a company based on cats and
LOL speak? According to Technorati, I Can Haz
Cheezburger is the 10th most popular blog on the
Internet with over 10 million page views a week.
For those of you are not in the "know", I Can
Haz Cheezburger is a repository for LOLcat
images. Ben says he just wants to spread some
smiles. While humor is one of the motivators,
the money can't be a bad thing with I Can Haz
Cheezburger being profitable from day one
according to Huh through mainly advertising
money.
Besides all of the LOLcat talk, the night was a great
chance to meet up with old industry friends and make
new acquaintances. Here are some pictures I took at
the event.
Keep on LOL'ing. Ben Huh wants you to.
