"Fame is a fickle friend"...
Many people are looking for fame because it helps them to feel better and more interesting, thus the Internet is just the most fantastic tool for them. In former times, it was a bit difficult to be famous, indeed you had to be very special to be know, very gifted. Today anyone can be on the Internet : on dailymotion or youtube.
But on the other hand, it's so easy that you have to be very special too. A lot of people will see your talent, but it's hard to catch the attention when we can have a look at everything on the Internet.
In France, for example, we have few people who became famous thanks to the Internet such as "Kamini" and "Passymal"... You can have a look at it right now...
Kamini is one of the first singer who succedes on the Internet in France with his clip Marly-Gaumont. It was what we call a phenomenon...the problem is that fame on the Internet is volatile. We don't actually remember people on the Internet, it's very ephemeral.
However it's a very good start...
Here another example of fame on the Internet...
The thing is that the Internet is a way of being seen, not always to become famous. We make fun of those who try to become famous and don't succed. This is how it works generally, with a lot of humour. But we can find this kind of phenomenon on television with entertainement programmes like American Idol...
