Yahoo Meme is the new microblogging service from Yahoo

Yahoo meme is the new microblogging service from Yahoo – similar to twitter. With Yahoo meme – Yahoo has directly challenged the current hot of netizens – Twitter in the microblogging platform market.

Yahoo had previously launched a Portuguese language micro-blogging product, Yahoo Meme, which was obviously similar to Twitter and Tumblr. It seems Yahoo definitely has some great ambitions with Yahoo Meme, as it has silently (without much fanfare) rolled the micro-blogging service out in Spanish and now in English.

Yahoo Meme exactly works like Twitter. According to Yahoo “Meme is where you share everything you find that’s interesting”. The Yahoo Meme is still in “Alpha” version – not even “Beta” – so expect some majot changes in the days to come. At present service is available by invitation only.

What does Meme mean?

A “meme” is commonly known in the web as some kind of content that spreads fast and draws everyone’s attention. The term itself was created by Richard Dawkins and published in his book “The Selfish Gene” in 1976. It refers to a specific fragment of culture or behavior that’s multiplied between individuals, similarly to what happens with genes in the field of biology.
