Interview With 4Chan Creator
Fimoculous has posted an interview with the creator of 4Chan. The creator, Christopher Poole (also known at “moot”), started the site 5 years ago and it has now become one of the most influential websites in the world. I’ve mentioned 4Chan before in relation to meme on the internet but it bears mentioning again the importance (and craziness) of 4Chan.
4Chan is the ultimate representation of anonymous interaction. To quote the interview:
“4chan is actually one of the most robust, complex, annoying, disgusting, illuminating, perverse, fascinating online communities ever created.”
Read the interview though and you’ll get an idea about how it was created and why it exists. It truly is an interesting phenomenon.
