In the last year, I got tired to see so many Twitter clones that simply copied the original without even trying to improve it. I don’t know what you think, but I bet there’s a lot to be improved there, especially since I really believe that Twitter is one of the lamest successful online services ever. Say what you want, but I won’t change my mind! These being said, it was great to find out that Yahoo! Meme is opening itself to the public, so let me tell you a few things about it…
I guess I don’t have to ask you if you know what Twitter is, because I am sure you do. For me, it’s a stupid site for those who think that posting a few words and shortened links is fancy, a site that generated a lot of money to some people and companies. I guess I don’t have to enter the realm deeper and talk about those insanely expensive Twitter tools and so on, do I? After all, this should only be about Yahoo Meme, so let’s leave Twitter in the dust where it belongs and move on to this brand new thing, shall we?
Words, images, and videos – these are the three major elements we encounter in all our online trips, and Meme offers easy access to all of them. No URL shorteners needed, just one Yahoo! account, and a few minutes to get started! Sure, you can use Meme even if you don’t have such an account already, but if you do, everything takes just a few moments. If you don’t, you’ll have to create the Yahoo! account first, but that can’t take more than just a few minutes, either, so I don’t think there’s any reason for you to avoid checking out this excellent service!
To see how a nicely done Meme page looks, I suggest the “official Meme Meme page,” available here. If you’re a developer, I suggest keeping an eye on this one, because if Yahoo! does things right, Meme could be a big success, and if you’re one of those who use Twitter to promote things, you’d better get your Meme page up and running as soon as possible. Good luck to you all, and a huge thumbs up to Yahoo! for coming up with this excellent service!
