Internet Famous
It’s just the web version of being really famous. Internet fame is a capricious thing. It descends suddenly, and can disappear just as quickly - like a YouTube video that suddenly becomes unavailable.

The Best Buzz

Sometimesdaily
Tech Buzz After a series of recent career stumbles, Amanda Congdon, the former Rocketboom hostess is back with an interactive variety show. See what happens when you get too big for your britches? You come crawling back to the stinkin' Internet. It's not so bad around here after all, is it, Congdon?

Justine Ezarik
Tech Buzz As "lifecaster" iJustine, this designer from Pittsburgh is a certified ce-web-rity. You may also know her from last year's 300 page iPhone video. So...how long until she gets a book/movie/record deal? Start counting.

ROFLcon
Tech Buzz The first official convention celebrating Internet memes will take place at Harvard University, where hundreds of web nerds will actually hear each other LOL. Buzzfeed won't be in attendance, but we can only hope there's a party DJ on hand to awkwardly beckon Tron Guy to the dance floor.

Stairway To Stardom
Culture Buzz We love the '80s, if only for this timeless New York City cable access series that speaks volumes about that magical era when American culture was, apparently, devoid of all irony. If only we could find a time machine, we'd finally have a place to perform that jazz-tap interpretation of the theme from Beverly Hills Cop.

Tina Brown And Barry Diller
Tech Buzz The media giants announced their collaboration on a news aggregator website. Will the dynamic duo knock friend/foible Arianna Huffington off her throne as the Internet's Master Commander? Only time will tell.
-
Blood Cell
Movie Buzz Lonelygirl15 is back with a new online horror series with a most ridiculous plotline: if your cell phone dies, your kidnapped friend dies along with it. It's kind of like Speed meets the Ring meets an annoying MySpace ad. You can't do that on television!

YouTube Awards Winners
TV Buzz Remember those viral videos everyone was sending you six months ago? Now they're being given awards. The talk about this being the new Oscars is a wee bit premature, but it's nice to know that YouTube viewers aren't just all about 2 Girls, 1 Cup reaction videos. Here are the winners in all 12 categories.

Allison Stokke, College Athlete
Sports Buzz The internet's favorite pole vaulter is now at the University of California at Berkeley, and her first college photo has surfaced online. In a recent championship at Cal, she set a school and freshman record for indoor pole vaulting with a mark of 3.99m (which a teammate tied). Meanwhile, internet sites are comparing the new pic with the old one.

Fail Dogs
Tech Buzz Hey, if cats can has their cheezburgers, why shouldn't their canine brethren? Hanging with these unlucky pups might not necessarily prevent a heart attack, but they sure are cute.

magibon / MRirian
Culture Buzz One of the most popular profiles on YouTube features videos of a young girl named "magibon" or "MRirian" staring bashfully into a webcam. Her profile says she is 21-years old but various sources say she is actually only 14. Wonder if her parents know she is getting hundreds of thousands of views each week? She looks like she is either gonna break out into tears or peals of laughter.

Internet Famous
Tech Buzz A class being taught at Parsons gives you a grade based on how "internet famous" you are. Posting some porn videos can now earn you an easy A! Oh, how we miss our days of art school.
-
Amanda Cicchini
Sports Buzz West Virginia soccer player is being touted as the new Allison Stokke. Well, we wouldn't go that far. We still feel partial to Allison for everything she's done for us, and for making pole vaulting exciting again.

Internet People
Tech Buzz Meth Minute releases a viral video featuring people made famous by the Internet. As a public service, BuzzFeed provides you with a comprehensive list of the viral videos and memes mentioned in the video.
-
Vanessa Hudgens
Celebrity Buzz Naughty pictures of the High School Musical starlet are all over the internet. Until recently, 18-year-old Hudgens was much less well-known than her co-star boyfriend Zac Efron, for whom she apparently took these shots. Yikes! Next she'll shave her head, then comes rehab.
-
Alice the Snorg Girl
Celebrity Buzz The girl-next-door who models for Snorg Tees has become somewhat of an internet celebrity. Do you reload your FaceBook homepage over and over again in hopes of seeing her ad pop-up? You're not the only one. (Thanks for the tip!)

Allison Stokke
Sports Buzz Star pole vaulter and high school senior Allison Stokke is plagued by unwanted internet popularity. Oops, we're giving her even more internet attention. Sorry, Allison! Don't hate us.
