Memes R Us August 15, 2008
Posted by Drew in : Cool, Miscellany, Technology , trackbackAh, internet memes. Where would we be without them. They come along, make us all laugh for a few days and then disappear.
Who can forget Dramatic Chipmunk, Diet Coke+Mentos, Numa Numa, Star Wars Kid or All Your Base Are Belong To Us. Not to forget 2 girls, 1 cup.
But by their very nature the internet meme is transitory. Rick Rolling was so last year. However they also now appear as references all over the place, an episode of Family Guy couldn’t exist without them :-).
Fortunately someone has spotted the gap and created the site of remembrance for memes past. Internet memes is a site that shows a timeline of internet memes going all the way back to the birth of the home computer. The easy to use interface allows you to zoom in or out, seeing the timeline from 500 years ago all the way down to the last hour. Obviously the range of the last 10 years is the most interesting! The site is clearly meant to be a user created one and people are adding memes all the time.
Whether you remember them first time around or not this is definitely one to keep an eye on.
