Great post and I agree that we are seeing more social celebrities types online. However, there is a difference (as in the real world) between wannabes and those that are actually achieving something meaningful. Real Influence whether online or otherwise is something that takes time to build.

For me, the overnight celebrity culture which was created by TV is a bad thing and ultimately will lead to lots of broken people. Watching people break down may be entertaining for some but it is ultimately a very dangerous thing for society.
