Partied with the 2 founders of icanhascheezeburger (among many others lats night). Come to find out they are long time shoemoney reeaders and said they were inspired to make icanhascheezeburger from reading shoemoney.com
talk about a compliment………..
I don’t get the whole cat thing.. But these guys are obviously on to something. You can’t go anywhere without seeing a lolcat. Such an amazing success story. It was really cool to meet them.
ok i guess this one is funny

[Reply]
That is great compliment. I love their blog.
[Reply]
Its a funny site, really cool they were inspired by you Jeremy. I first heard about it from Matt’s post for Halloween, even though he looks goofy.
[Reply]
hehe, I don’t think anyone gets it
[Reply]
Aloha! Ben & Eric.
Now… You are the ones who are inspiring people to make cool websites.

I POOP RAINBOWS
[Reply]
I like cats, so this cat picture really made my day
[Reply]
if that doesn’t prove you can be successful blogging about anything i dont know what does!
[Reply]
Jer meets all the cool folk
[Reply]
Dang they have some PR and traffic. Never heard of them till now.
[Reply]
LOL That was my favorite one I think. ^_^
[Reply]
Their site is really amusing … they crack my girlfriend up and anyone that brightens up her day is a friend to me
[Reply]
Wow. Never heard of that site until now…some pretty cool images that make you laugh
[Reply]
yeah icanhascheezburger! Man that site gets me through the workday. Some real gems on there… fun to find out cheezburger and tofuburger actually have names, hee hee hee
[Reply]
Heh heh. That is pretty funny.
[Reply]
First time checking that site out and thought it was going to be kind of stupid but actually ended up laughing at some of the photos
[Reply]
Oh come on. I’m addicted to that site. It just makes me smile in the morning when I check it out.
[Reply]
I had seen this site a few days ago linked from one of the other blogs, and didn’t get what the whole site is about. Saw it again after your post and still dont get it. So it is pics of cats, wtf does it have to do with cheeseburgers? Did they just have that domain name lying around and thought, hey why not just throw some cat pictures on it!
[Reply]
Who can’t love those pics. They’re great compared to those fake studio shots yuo see on calendars.
[Reply]
Yes… but, they’ve dominated the ‘cute’ niche to hell. How can you top that?
[Reply]
One would have thought they were inspired by Cute Overload
[Reply]
They’d be funnier without the baby talk.
That said, congrats guys. Way to go.
[Reply]
Icanhascheeseburger is the epitome of a I cant believe that made money site and an I cant believe I didnt think of that site.
[Reply]
silly freak, that’s funny
[Reply]
No, there is a lolcat with “I can has cheeseburger” as the text.
[Reply]
I am also a reader. Lolcats rule !
[Reply]
I doubt that
[Reply]
WOW! You met the guys behind the lolcats
They really stumbled upon something when they opened that site. It also seems like Mr. Shoe is styling w/o glasses

[Reply]
Cute cat!
[Reply]
whats the deal with the whole cat thingy?
[Reply]
They are such a damn good guy.. Using funny cat picture as their income..
[Reply]
LoL, nice picture of the cat. Really funny !
[Reply]
Asians and success, what else is new?
World dominance coming to your neighborhood nearest you!
[Reply]
icanhascheezeburger…now that’s a cool name, not to mention that cute cat too!
[Reply]
I have to admit I still don’t get the whole cat thing either, but maybe it is because I am a dog guy.
[Reply]
My wife doesn’t get it, but I love those things. I can’t get enough, and I guess a lot of others can’t either. Those guys may be the greatest minds of the Internet since Sergey and Larry. Ok, maybe not that great, but they are really funny.
[Reply]
I’m a dog guy too and I laugh at those lolcats every caturday.
It’s meme-rific!
[Reply]
Didn’t that start on blogger?? I think i remember hearing about it. They are doing pretty well i would say.
[Reply]
i like how the domain is spelled wrong in the title and the text. good thing the link works and the guy is wearing a tshirt with the name of the site on it
[Reply]
Wow…my blog was inspired by them (I do not have a LOL site) and they were inspired by Shoemoney…therefor I was inspired by Shoemoney (which I was). I am doubled Inspired!
[Reply]
I doubt that, the reason its funny is because of the captions
[Reply]
I agree i don’t personally like cats but damn those captions are funny
[Reply]
Look, no glasses on the recently lasik’d shoemoney!
[Reply]
they’re funny because they’re so incongruent, everyone hates ordinary and regular nowadays
[Reply]
The more of a conceptual jump between the caption and the cat, the funnier it is. without the caption, that’s a cat next to shoes. in fact you probably wouldn’t even notice the shoes.
[Reply]
Yea, but this is cute and different with the quotes and all..
[Reply]
Hehehehe… I cannot stop of laughing. Very funny pictures… And I guess that is an excellent business for them.
[Reply]
If you know about All Your base you’re probably at least 20… So yea! You’re getting old
hahaha (just kidding)
[Reply]
I kind of get the “cute, geeky” humor, but Its rediculous! Hey, if you can make $$ with 2 girls 1 cup, why not LOLCATS?
[Reply]
Cats are delicious
[Reply]
Nice artistic review
[Reply]
Very funny! Thanks!
[Reply]
I agree comepletely! Cats are funny as hell
[Reply]
I LUV CHEEZBURGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Reply]
Yea, it drives me nuts when you think of the simple things people make money from.
[Reply]
While your there, I recommend ihasabucket.com
[Reply]
Do you really believe the idea is enough ? Who knows how much promoting was done before the site reached this level
[Reply]
I just want to know where they get all the pictures.
[Reply]
I can’t stop laughing! Love it!
[Reply]
Yes, I’m sure it was promoted like crazy. And now Shoe does his thing. After this they’re probably going to the next level.
[Reply]
Doh, I just figured out the icanhascheezburger thing. I didn’t know wtf the word was until I saw the first post.
[Reply]
all pictures are user submitted. They get over 9,000 per day
[Reply]
hahah its really funny:)
