Memeflow Is Still Up And Running

| | Comments (4) | TrackBacks (0)

My server was unreachable today for about six hours due to some hassle at the colo, but I was reminded that Memflow, a service I put together in 2005 as an experiment, is still being happily used by quite a number of people.

I was reminded because I got a bunch of email from quite a number of people wondering why their favourite “start” page was down!

Sweet!

If you’re looking for a fast, image-free (ok, there’s an RSS icon) start page, may I suggest you give Memeflow a try?

Here are some posts about the site from a while ago.

Thanks for the great start page! I got the link from Chris Pirillo's Lockergnome newsletter. I know that you intended the start page to load fast, but does it support images? I would like support for images, even if they are not on your server (ie, photobucket.com).

Hey Steve,

Neat idea. I work in SEO and I was wondering if you have had any luck or examples of ajax homepages actually achieving rankings? We build Fan Sites for free for a select group (those who will work it) and I like some of your elements.

Anyway, if you have any data on SEO from your memeflow, please let me know.

Thnx
B

Tim: what support are you asking for? That a link would display the image you're linking to?

Brian: I don't have any examples, but if text in the root page is written well and is linked to by others then it should rank as well as any non-ajax site. The issue is really that content behind an auth gateway (i.e. the user needs to log in) isn't going to get crawled.

I would like to "dress-up" the home page with images. If they can't be hosted on your server, they could be hosted at photobucket.com.
