That isn’t an open question to just anybody who reads this blog - it is a serious question about you.
Does this fit with you?
The Internet is setting a new standard for celebrity. Fame is no longer about getting “15 minutes”; it’s about becoming famous to 15 people.
So you could be famous just for being you - brings a new meaning to what fame really is, eh?
PS - there isn’t any cash involved, though - unless you get paid that is.

Fame on the Internet is actually about 69 minutes long. That’s how long a Digg or Stumble usually lasts. It’s fun to see the spike in numbers, but nobody ever leaves a comment - at least not on my blog.
It’s the regulars - those 15 who have you on their RSS reader - who make it worthwhile. Unless you’ve lucked out with the idea of cheezburger or stuff (some) white people like, the rest is just herd mentality.

That isn’t a truism now is it?
Your Facebook post had 17 when I looked.

Yes, but are the 17 from Ian’s regulars? I’m an irregular commenter on his, and yours, and find all this an interesting phenomenon. I’m about as famous as I want to be, for the moment. It’s the communities we develop that make blogging fun, and even meaningful. Our groups of regulars ebb and flow, and I find that quite refreshing!

Oh I wasn’t having a go at him, Muse. I was just being a bit sarcastic with him saying no one commented - If that had been the case I would have commented on his blog about 20 times.
