Meme media technology is developed for provoking and supporting the evolution of knowledge on computers and the Internet. With the development of World Wide Web, the Web comes to have elemental functionalities for realizing meme media-based knowledge evolution. Webble World, the latest meme media platform, was implemented for seamless integration of meme media technology into the modern Web technologies. However, because it works on a browser plugin, it is slightly getting detached from other Web-related technologies. To achieve more seamless integration, we explore the possibility of developing a meme media platform with pure Web technologies. First, we look back on the original meme media architecture to understand what is necessary to implement the platform. Then, we pick up a JavaScript framework for building structured Web applications, called AngularJS. Consequently, we develop a prototypical implementation of a meme media platform and some example meme media objects on the platform. Because the platform is implemented only with HTML and pure JavaScript, it works on modern Web browsers that support the latest HTML5 and JavaScript specifications.
