Internet Famous class got a great writeup on TIME.com today: link
Choice excerpt from a student:
“You have to be creative, especially in this class, to get an A. Why do you think I’m talking to you? This story is going online with my name, isn’t it? That’s more famo, right there.”
I also hosted a meme-documentary episode of Rocketboom earlier this week: Know Your Meme: Rickroll
