But it isn’t Ben Huh’s fashion sense, or Emily’s tolerance for it, that has landed them on GeekWire’s Newsmakers of the Year list for 2011, even though we got a few chuckles out of GQ’s special recognition of Ben’s preference for cat t-shirts.
The husband-and-wife team (Ben serves as CEO, while Emily works as editor-in-chief) have made our list for building one of the most surprising (and hilarious) success stories in Seattle tech.
In the course of a few years, they’ve transformed a small cat photo blog into an international Web humor juggernaut. Cheezburger’s 50 or so comedy sites now attract more than 20 million monthly visitors, making it bigger than The Wall Street Journal’s Web site and many other well known media brands.
That’s no joke.
