First the Blog Herald, then…

By Barry Bell on March 29 2006

Duncan, is that you? ;o)

I should have been a detective.

Seriously, though? Can memeorandum easily be cloned? For less than a grand?

I doubt it.

And what’s the point? It’s already been done.

Anyhoo. I’m more interested in the quality that comes out of this. A few years ago, I used a similar offshoring/freelance service to get some projects moving, and to be honest, I found out the hard way that to get exactly what I wanted, it was easier to learn to code the damn thing myself.

Have sites like these improved? Can you trust them?

Interesting – hadn’t seen this.

One thing I think with meme trackers is that there might still be room for new ones if they are on the right topics. Tech has probably been done to death but even memeorandum is widening it’s focus to entertainment….

Yeah, I hadn’t thought of that. ;o)

I keep automatically associating that kind of thing to tech topics, when it could (obviously) be applied elsewhere just as successfully.

We’ll have to wait and see…

There are hundreds of topics that could use the memeorandum engine. I’m surprised it took so long. At only $500 bucks that’s a good deal…

Congrats on the detective work, but if you trawl through the logs at The Blog Herald you’ll find out what the project is as well :-) I posted about it mayve 3 weeks prior to selling the site.

chartreuse is on the mark, but I’m doing something I always wanted to do closer to home.

As for cost! What can I say, I can get a MySpace knock off for $800 out of India. There is nothing you really cant buy for less than a grand :-)
