Wired Celebrity Meter: I am 1/20th as famous as Obama!

Wired has a trendy gizmo here: "Are You Internet Famous? Use the Wired Celebrity Meter to find out how big a deal you really are. Our algorithm will dig through your personal pages to find out how many fans are following your online exploits" Try it, below. My rating came out as 534 - that makes me 1/20th as famous as Barack Obama (9072), a bit less than half as famous as Julia Allison (1187) -whoever she is-, and 1/10th as famous as Kevin Rose (founder of Digg, at 5865). Hilarious! I guess this is the ultimate navel-gazing tool.

I scored 1380 so I guess I'm more than twice as famous as you. ;)

Call me for navel gazing lessons! ;)
