YAHOO MEME

Already know was who made this website. Yahoo! Yep, Yahoo rerelease rerelease in August 2009 bull. Yahoo! Meme or often called Yahoo! Mim, a meme itself has no special meaning. However, the term "meme" on the web is known as something that spreads quickly and everyone's attention.

This term is taken from a book called "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins, published in 1976. The word "meme" by Richard Dawkins refers to a small piece of culture or behavior and then duplicating a lot among the people, similar to what occurs in the gene in biology. So hope Yahoo! gave the name "Meme" is nothing not to make Yahoo! Meme spreads quickly, such as duplication of genes in biology.
