Get invitation to try Yahoo! Meme microblogging service

Twitter might be the best microblogging service in town so far, but this doesn't mean that we don't have room for more. All we need is a microblogging platform with a much better design, user-interface and posting features and we are all sold to it. That's where the new Yahoo! Meme jumps in to meet our expectations.

Not much can be said about Yahoo! Meme for now except that it looks like one of those Yahoo! services which actually may manage to live for long (really! it happens rare). On the guts, its basically a Twitter wannabe with posting features like those of Tumblr.

The concept is mainly the same as that of Twitter, users get a dedicated profile page where they are able to post updates, although in this case the updates are not just point-less text babble but also photos, videos and even music which puts it at an upper level to Twitter in terms of usability.

The dashboard is where you receive updates from the people you follow (Oh Yes! the Follow culture extends here as well). Also to post any updates, you must categorize it as text, photo, video, or music first. Much like Twitter again, users are also able to select a design for their profile.

Search trends are no where to be seen in Yahoo! Meme yet, probably because there isn't a search feature at all. And if you are wondering whether you will be able to 'Retweet' a posted update from a friend, Yes! but it will be called a 'Repost' instead.

Personally! I like the interface and design of Yahoo! Meme so far but I wouldn't give up Twitter for it since you never know when Yahoo! decides to shut down the service as it has done so with its past web-services. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind using it casually for posting photos and videos since that is one thing that Twitter still does not have support for.

The service is invitation only, we have 30 invites for our readers. Shoot a comment and tell us what you think about the service and we will send you an invite to try it out and those already using the service can Follow me here.

  • Looks good lets see if it can compete with Tumblr.

    Can I have an invitation plz?
  • I think the service looks pretty cool! I would love to try it out :)
  • MOin
    i am going to give it a try for sure, for that i need an invite send me one pliss :D
  • The service looks very good. But kind of too much like Twitter.
  • A Twitter clone by Yahoo? Interesting service... Looks like a must try :D I hope this one doesn't goes down as well like other Yahoo startups.
  • Nice... please send me an invitation as well
  • Cool! Now more & more micro-blogging services would be available after seeing the huge success of twitter. I would love to give it a try, plz send me an invite. sheharyar92@live.com
  • I could use an invite... :) Heard about it few months back (they started it in Portuguese first) ...

    This may be a copy cat idea but..their design is sleek and better than Twitter.

    It would be interesting to see how they integrate this with Flickr...

    I wouldn't mind an invitation. I always like what Yahoo! does, and am let down when they decide to pull the plug on something. Hopefully this time will be different! danielleesale at gmail dot com.
  • count me in !
  • count me in too
  • Invitation sent to those who actually cared to share their thoughts about this new service. More invitations still available!
  • Got it, Thank u Saad :)
  • I wish to get one too... count me in
  • Why does Yahoo do this? Create a site for everything that comes along. They tried to create something for blogs, social networking, bookmarking... not that competition is not a good thing. They just don't follow up properly.

    But would love to give it a try though. :) ... Send me an Invite. shyyawn [at] gmail [dot] com
  • Anber
    Sounds like a half-hearted attempt to make an amalgum of facebook and twitter :D
    i mean the concepts are old...just put together on a new platform !
  • Marina
    So cute!
    This format is the real microblog to me.
    Twitter is quite flat and visually frustrating on media content :(
    We have to guess what's beyhond those tiny links..

    Nice features: edit messages, support html embed code, load pictures from urls.. and maybe bbcode & smilies...
  • Can I have one please?
  • I'd be interested to try this, though I need to try to tell if I will use it... Can I have an invite?
  • It looks similar to Tumblr. Can u mail me an invite?
  • Now this is a good competition for twitter. As long as there is no good and healthy competition it doesnt push one to work hard for better.
    Would love to try it, if you still have an invitation!
  • I think this looks really cool and I am very excited about trying it out myself. I really would like to see Yahoo find success with something again. They have been struggling in many ways, and if they were successful with overtaking Twitter, my hat would go off to them. I would love to receive an invite to try the service.
  • sadikk
    I am going mad watching those pictures on meme... trust me i will dump my orkut and FB... its really interesting.. well twitter wasnt interesting since its launch..
  • Look great! please send me an invitation, i want to use it :)

  • Jarod

  • Yahoo! meme looks like Tumblr but simpler. Asian people will quickly adopt this new service as ususal, I guess. Please send me an invitation to xoaixx [at] yahoo [dot] com. Thank you so much!
  • Oops! we just ran out of invitations people!
  • I think that it looks like a fun program -- goodness knows that i have many problems with twitter. :/ could I bother you all for an invite?

    tumblr has much morre themes

    Here is the tweet - http://twitter.com/technolizard/status/3794299214
  • I'd definitely love an invitation. :)
    Meme looks like one fresh Yahoo! product in a long time. It won't likely kill Twitter in a day, but it certainly looks like a long distance runner.

  • I doubt it will have any effect on Twitter, tumblr maybe.. In my opinion this is just one more url in the list of TWITTER CLONES. Yes its not exactly like twitter but come on who are we kidding even facebook is truning into a twitter clone. Saying this I still would like to to try it, just like i tried other clones such as REJAW. :)
