Dear FAILers,
Last time I wrote a personal post, I think I made some of you teary-eyed so I don’t write many personal blog posts here, but I wanted to celebrate our remarkable 2-year anniversary with you.
In September of 2007, we launched the company with our first blog, I Can Has Cheezburger?, and at the onset of the worst economic crisis of our time, I quit my day job in order to run ICHC from my living room couch. Cheezburger Network, which FAIL Blog is a key part, is now one of the largest blog networks in the world. And we’ll soon celebrate the release of our first FAIL Blog book. Thanks to you, our users, we’ve grown to more than 20 sites and now reach more than 11 million people around the globe every month.
Today also marks another milestone for us. When we began, we didn’t know what we wanted to be when we grew up. We didn’t even know who we were. We’re far from grown up, but we know more about who we are and why we’re here. We want to enable you to share your sense of humor, share what you find funny with each other and the rest of the world. We want to make you happy for a few minutes each day. This is now the mission of the Cheezburger Network.
We’d like for you to know us better as a company and as a group of people working hard to make your life a little bit happier each day. And we promise to share with you our successes and *eh hem* fails.
From the bottom of the hearts of the 26 bloggers, moderators, developers and staff of the Cheezburger Network, thank you.
Ben Huh
CEO
Cheezburger Network
