When I said, “What ever happened to â€˜15 minutes of fame?â€™ What is it nowâ€“15 links of fame?” to Shirley Peters (who then put it in her .plan), I was not (to the best of my knowledge) quoting anybody else. AFAIK, it was original to me.

Feel free to use the phrase however you see fit.

In the future, everyone will be famous…

…for 15 minutes.

…to 15 people.

…for 15 links.

…in their own mind’s ego and no where else. Warhol’s statement is just another myth, that somehow got legs.

Everybody is famous in at least one area.

I remember originally reading that quote in either an early issue of WIred or an issue of Mondo 2000. (It may even have been in Reality Hackers.)

Ah, the “Matthew Effect” in action (in the form of “The A-list Cites The A-list”)
