"Around this time yesterday, Cheezburger Network CEO Ben Huh publicly offered on Twitter to buy Reddit from publishing company Cond\u00E9 Nast. Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian responded in a blog post this morning suggesting that all the relevant parties get together and talk... over cheeseburgers.\nOhanian, who is no longer directly involved in managing Reddit on a daily basis, actually teased in his blog post's title that he would respond using only LOLcats (for which Huh's Cheezburger Network is famous), but he didn't make good on that promise. Instead, he explained how Reddit's ads are restricted to preserve a clean user experience, and how that poses \"a difficult monetization problem that hasn't yet been solved.\"\nYou might remember that Reddit called on its users to contribute money in exchange for \"gold\" memberships when the site struggled to meet the revenue goals set by Cond\u00E9 Nast. Huh offered to give Reddit \"more resources and less corporate interference\" than Cond\u00E9 Nast.\nAs open as Ohanian seemed to Huh's wooing, he wasn't optimistic about the possibility of Reddit switching hands. \"Team reddit needs help, but I wouldn't expect anyone to call you, Ben,\" he blogged. \"In fact, I'd be very surprised if reddit were sold.\"\nDespite his concerns, Ohanian suggested a dialogue between Huh and Reddit's caretakers: \"Considering all that you've done with the Cheezburger empire, Ben, I think it's at least worth dropping a note to Chris Slowe &amp; the team to chat over some... uh... cheeseburgers?\"\nChances are nothing would come of such a meeting \u2014 apparently Huh has already made offers privately with no luck \u2014 but Ohanian seems to agree that Reddit isn't quite at home with Cond\u00E9 Nast.\n[via The Next Web]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
