Mega-Microcelebrity

rsigamoney
Microcelebrity is the phenomenon of being extremely well known not to millions but to a small group -- a thousand people, or maybe only a few dozen. This phenomenon is seen most prevalently in the online world of social networks, blogs, and vlogs. Aaron Krane was the marketing manager for Technorati and the former host of the web TV show Buzz! He's often recognized at tech events, knows how to pose for pictures, and obsessively counts how many photos have been tagged of him on Facebook - all factors that contribute to his microcelebrity status. We'll follow Aaron as he shows us how, in this era of global and internet communities, who's a celebrity and why, may not really matter - as long as you get your 15 minutes somehow.

    • Maybe they should do a special on Current micro-celebrities. Nevermind, I'd imagine it'd be pretty straightforward:

      Wake Up, Blog, Take Shower, Blog, Blog while eating cereal, go to work, blog on lunch break, work some more, go home while thinking about blogging, blog, shake your head at JJ Hammer's warped vision of reality while ignoring his comments, go to youtube because your tired of Current, go back to Current because you've remembered the new youtube format is lame-matic, wonder where previous Current micro-celebrities have vanished to, eat while blogging about Palin, sleep.

      Wash, Rinse, Repeat.
