No one is quite sure what 4chan founder Christopher "moot" Poole is doing hanging out on Rick Santorum's website, but BetaBeat has confirmed that visiting Patriot Voices does in fact yield a pop-up with the infamous troll-father's smiling mug.

23-year-old 4chan founder Christopher Poole (aka "moot") has fashioned himself as a sort of anti-Mark Zuckerberg, favoring anonymity and a certain messiness to Facebook's domain of spotless white walls and sterile profile pics. He's made a stir again by directly attacking Facebook's approach to identity.

4chan's twenty-something founder Christopher "Moot" Poole just publicly launched his much-hyped new startup Canv.as, which is billed as "4chan for grown-ups." Does 4chan hate Canv.as? Of course it does.

First Christopher Poole created 4chan, a fast-churning anonymous imageboard. Now he's testing Canvas, a fast-churning anonymous imageboard. The difference: Canvas is clean, friendly and attracts investors, while 4chan is filthy, anarchic and attracts subpoenas. Let's hope 4chan doesn't feel threatened.

What's the Internet's scariest hivemind like in real life? A bunch of geeky twenty-somethings hanging out in a bar in Brooklyn. This is what I learned last night at the first official meetup for the notorious message board 4chan.

The notorious message board 4chan's young founder has fashioned himself as a champion of extreme free speech on the Internet. But blatant censorship is occurring on 4chan right now, after its users attacked a target too close to home.

This week, 4chan's 22-year-old founder, Christopher Poole (AKA "Moot"), held an extensive Q&A with users of the anarchic site's /b/ messageboard. The discussion ranged from technical details, to the rewards of fame, to sex. Lots of sex.

Chris Poole is looking for hackers for his new startup Canvas Networks, which is pretty strange considering the last website he started, 4chan, is notoriously a place teeming with, uh, hackers. Going legit isn't always an intuitive process.

Christopher Poole (aka "Moot") founded the unruly message board 4chan as a place for anime enthusiasts to hang out. Now it's a crazy, sometimes-scary morass of nascent memes, porn, racism. But Poole is about to go legit.

AT&T, for reasons unknown at this point, has blocked user access to portions of 4chan, the online hangout for the world's most notorious cyber-terrorists. And they thought iPhone customers were a pain in their ass! This will end badly.
