can fame be measured based on who is getting the most search engine searches? it would surely change every month, but it would probably give accurate snapshots of fickle online fame.

names we all laughed or discussed months ago are already footnotes. tay zonday, greenteagirlie, brookers. dare i drop the name of the now-forgotten “emmalina”, the prelonelygirl15 lonelygirl15? or the prehappyslip happyslip?

smosh has the most subscribers on youtube. but does it have fame outside the bedrooms of 14 year old boys?

ugh. my brain hurts.
