www.famegame.com/"Fame Game may sound like a trashy obsession, but this social web of influential New Yorkers actually has an intellectual base. It is tracking the “fame” of about 100,000 New York City residents and 2,500 organizations, which the founders claim represents the cultural economy of NYC. Indeed, the site does not discriminate between business owners, socialites, journalists, or architects- only the amount of attention they receive in the media. Fame Game could be described as a reverse social network- only once a person is listed in a media outlet and included on the site can that individual request to join. In this way, emerging artists, business leaders, or actors can work to gain more public attention and individuals take the role that publicists traditionally fill." [Agent:1]
