The viral sensation of memes are now open for creation by anyone now that the Google+ meme feature lets anyone create their own viral images -- and by "anyone," I mean any Google+ user.
The Google+ meme application allows people to upload their own pictures and add "funny text" in hope of creating something that will spread across the Internet. To promote this new addition to Google+, Google has created a few of their own memes, including a fish who makes Inception references, a punny bear and chickens who mimic Bill O’Reilly.
While Facebook currently owns the market on social media, perhaps the Google+ meme addition will attract more people to make the switch.
