Meme catalogue website Know Your Meme has been swallowed by Ben Huh's The Cheezburger Network this morning in a seven figure deal, Tubefilter's Marc Hustvedt reports. The site, which has 3 million unique visitors per month and 20 million page views per month will be joining sites like Fail Blog, The Daily What and LOLmart in Cheezburger's march towards total meme domination. Founder Andrew Baron tells me that while he will be staying at Rocketboom, the Know Your Meme staff will all be moving over the Cheezburger. The sale included staff, the site http://knowyourmeme.com and the Know Your Meme show. Rocketboom will no longer produce the Know Your Meme show, but Cheezburger, which just received $30 million in funding, may "spark it up" again.
