Pet Holdings, the parent company of I Can Has Cheezburger and about a dozen other UGC sites, has taken over spot #1 on the Seattle 2.0 Seattle Startup Index. As Marcelo notes, just recently Pet Holdings sites have been featured in Time Magazine, MSNBC, and Ben Huh made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. That sort of exposure can drive a back-office IT staff nuts trying to keep the ship afloat when the visitors start pouring in.
Congratulations to Scott Porad and the tech team there for putting together an operation that can scale up to meet the insane (and unpredictable) demands put on their infrastructure. And congrats to Ben and the marketing operation for getting such excellent exposure for what has turned out to be one of the web’s #1 humor destinations.
