Sue, As you know, fame, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So you will have a variety of national and even sub-national fame-doms; domain specific fame-doms (gamers, activists, techies, hackers/white and black hat variety, even poets/netartists, etc.etc.; subject matter fame-doms (e-democracy, e-gender, ICT and Development, e-sociologists, net theorists, Internet governance-oids); genre fem-doms (netloons, spammers, ICT feminists... Etc.etc. But only Google would I think, be able to make some semblance of order out of the ensuing mess. (but maybe that was your point--to become famous as the person who raised the issue of Net-fame-dom and caused the ensuing row/take over of the AiR elist? :-) M -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Sue Thomas Sent: Monday, March 07, 2011 4:01 AM To: Steve 802 Cc: air-l@listserv.aoir.org; medianthro@lists.easaonline.org Subject: Re: [Air-L] [Medianthro] Seeking info about famous internet people*not* from North America So Angry Birds is from Finland?
