Introducing Meme

Meme is a light-blogging platform from Yahoo! focused on quick multimedia posts that can be easily spread with one-click reposts. Users can easily read, post, and repost content through Meme. If you're from Indonesia, you probably know Meme as Mim.

Meme offers the following advantages:

  • Support for text, photo, video and audio posts
  • Built-in repost feature that allows users to re-publish and share content with one click.
  • Following/Follower model. Users have one-way connections, which means they can follow anyone, regardless if the other person follows back. No friendship approval required.
  • Integration with Yahoo! Query Language (YQL), which provides a simple way to use the Meme API.
  • Compliance with OAuth for transparent and secure access to user data. This means you won't need to ask for passwords or worry about storing them.
