INTERNET RICH talk @ Non-Motivational Speaker Series
Reblogged from Gelf Magazine:
Hacker-entrepreneur Jamie Wilkinson came to the Non-Motivational Speaker Series to talk about his Internet Famous course at Parson’s School of Design, the “first algorithmically graded class in the history of academics.”For those who couldn’t make it, below are highlights from the night.

Internet Famous in TIME
Update 12/24 midnight: article also just got cross-posted to cnn.com
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
