I thought this article was interesting because it talked about how different sites have gained so much popularity that they are now able to get millions of views just while being online. Some sites that allow users to upload their own videos and display their skits to those watching have also i he process gained much popularity. Its interesting to see how there feels to be a slight shift on how people are trying to get famouse and how fameis now being recognized.
I think an interesting example of this is Perez Hilton. I think that before he was well known he had a blog where he talked about celebrities. After his site gained much popularity it kind of just blew up and so did Perez Hilton. I think that people who want to become celebrities have found a new outlet to reach people and spread their name. Now, small bands have to create twitter accounts, Facebook pages just about their ban, and have their own Youtube pages. With mass information able to spread to people faster and to a larger group, it is easier to have you and your ideas out there and just a bit easier or more likely to actually become one of the few who actually become famous through their social media sites.
Society has changed so much that its easier to be noticed and famous, like that girl that song that “Sunday” song. Even bad publicity is publicity and at the end people just want to be noticed and now social media sites are making it easier than before to actually be known by many, fast.
