There are all kinds of rankings listing TV stars and movie celebrities.
However the new trend is now called “Web celeb 25”, a list of 25 people famous primarily for creating or appearing in Internet-based content, and for being highly recognizable to a Web-based audience.
It was Forbes’s idea to create this original ranking chart which has now reached its second edition.

Things change fast on the Internet and fame is no exception.
Nearly half of the online celebrities identified in the inaugural edition of the Forbes.com Web Celeb 25 failed to place on the list in this second edition. This does not apply to this year’s winner Perez Hilton who was in second place in the chart last year. His “specialty” is gossip and 73%of the people who read what Perez writes are women and 71% of them are 35 years and under.
