Cheezburger Network Can Has Know Your Meme

The Cheezburger Network has acquired Know Your Meme, the popular web series and meme database, from Rocketboom, reports TubeFilter.

The Cheezburger Network reportedly paid in the “low seven figures” for the site and three employees have already transitioned over to Cheezburger.

Rocketboom and Know Your Meme employees (of whom there are not many; it takes just two full-time and two-part time employees to run Know Your Meme) were rewarded by Know Your Meme founder Andrew Baron with “thousands to tens of thousands of dollars as bonuses,” Baron wrote.

This deal will ensure that the Internet never runs out of cat pictures.
