Yahoo Buys The Me.me Domain For Its Twitter-Like Microblogging Site

Yahoo  is apparently still going full-force with its Twitter competitor, Yahoo Meme. The company has now bought up the oh-so-clever domain name, Me.me, from the .ME domain registry, which is based in the country of Montenegro. No word on how much Yahoo paid.


Yahoo, however, calls the purchase “an essential component of our online branding strategy.” The buy may suggest that Yahoo is readying a wider roll-out of the service, which has not been advertised widely.
On Meme, users write up short entries and add photos or videos to their pages, which are called “memes;” users can “follow” other memes and track entries from those pages via one central dashboard.

Meme initially launched in Portuguese a year ago; English and Spanish-language versions followed this fall. People have asked about  Yahoo for any new details on the status of the site and I will try to update when I hear something about it.

Gizmodo has uncovered some leaked photos of a new handset which appear to be quite authentic. The first thing you would notice here is its shiny plastic finish, which is very much welcoming from the pale gray look on G1. Also this time around there is not physical keyboard present, which is a little disappointing. Though the touchscreen is large, but we know the current Android interface had some issues. The back side has a new surprise A 3.2 Mega Pixel camera, though even mid range phones for vendors like Nokia boast a 5.0 Mega Pixel camera these days. What would be interesting is the video capabilities of the G2 (if there are any). The current rumors suggest that this handset would hit the shelves...
