The third person, Alex Tew, is a bit of a hybrid.

This young English innovator realized that selling pixels would be big business, and made a million dollars in less than a year (you missed out on the exchange rate there Alex, should have been the Million Quid homepage).

He is known by millions of people worldwide, yet most people wouldn't know him if he did a jig in front of them. He most probably earns a six figure, going on seven figure salary, but doesn't get invited to film premiers.

Yes, he is ‘cyber famous'. It struck me the other day that we are starting to get a completely new class of person who is famous in cyber space, yet would be totally anonymous on the street. So let's look at this new breed of animal.

In every day life you will be sought after if you can make people either

a. Better looking,

b. More popular or

c. More wealthy

It seems that Google is the tool tool that can help you find all three.

I remember a time when people would report meetings with an elusive 'Google guy'. A glimpse of him here, a meeting in a darkened forum, where search engine secrets would be passed between those in the know spreading SEO wisdom amongst the faithful.

In recent times Matt Cutts (Google guy), has come out of the search engine closet to rapturous applause. He is now on the Christmas list of every person involved in search marketing, and can now be assured of some kind of immortality. Not quite as rock and roll as Keith Richards, but I will conjecture that Matt's liver will last longer.

Another person who is a bit of a hit must be the Rich Jerk.

Now unlike Matt this person is still well within the closet, so he could have been doing your gardening for the last twelve years and you wouldn't know. (in fact I'll ask my gardener right now).

Well my gardener didn't like being asked if he was any kind of jerk, but I can tell you that the rich jerk uses the tool that, on the net, seems to be the most successful after appealing to your lower chakra, he uses people's greed.

In fact all he does is talk himself up and tell you that if you bought his products, you would be as rich and obnoxious as him. And it works. Tempting huh.

Alex is a hybrid because, having grasped the nettle of television notoriety, he might be recognized by a few people whilst out doing the grocery shopping. This will be a big social benefit to him as he hasn't even attended university yet.

The people mentioned above are among the more topical ‘cyber famous' right now, but who are the gods and goddesses of their own small niches?

Contact me and tell me who you are, it is time to drink in the sunlight of real world notoriety.

Meanwhile, having figured it all out I have cobbled together a blog, where I am cataloguing my own rise to internet stardom.

That's if I have the time, but as Shakespeare said ‘I have wasted time, and now doth time waste me'.

Whatever that means!
