Last week Eric and Tofu of the amazing meme aggregator and generator site I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER visited Dogster & Catster HQ.

Eric gave us the background on how we saw the photo meme getting started and how they turned a wordpress, a massive gmail account and some creative photo hosting into a 3-4 terabyte-a-month service that become more popular then cuteoverload and has pageviews / visit that are more like a community site then a blog.

He showed us all the custom features he’s built in to upload, ranks (karma) link, share, and make ChzCat photos. Trust me, this is no photodump site, it’s a thriving community that is said to be the most popular site on all of wordpress.com.

If you talk with Eric for five minutes you’ll realize this is no dumb luck schtick. If you listen to him talk for an hour you’ll realize there isn’t any luck at all.

ICanHasCheezburger’s commitment to their community, to their visitors and even to any viewing one of their hosted photos who may never even realize where the photo came from is paramount to everything they do. They are as hands on as it gets and they are doing all they can to live up to their visitors desires every day.

We have the same commitment at Dogster & Catster so getting together has actually felt like reconnecting with a twin we never knew.

I took photos. (Click thru if you don’t see a slide show.)
