Founder of 4Chan - TED 2010 Talk

Chris 'moot' Poole, the founder of 4chan, a controversial, uncensored online imageboard, describes its subculture, some of the Internet "memes" it has launched, and the incident in which its users managed a very public, precision hack of a mainstream media website, as well as the good outcomes they have achieved such as the amazing story of Dusty the cat...

The talk also raises questions about the power and price of anonymity and the fact that 4Chan is endangered due to social networks and the call for persistent identity online.
