Back in the 1990s, a well-known computer scientist had an unusual way of introducing himself to women. According to industry lore, the brilliant but socially awkward technologist would sidle up to women at hotel bars and say: "Do you know who I am? I’m famous on the Internet." The tactic was not typically successful.
The computer scientist either had a sly sense of humor or badly miscalculated the value of Internet fame. Being famous exclusively on the Internet has always been worth considerably less than real world celebrity. It doesn’t get you past any velvet ropes, onto Oprah’s guest sofa or entice the paparazzi into following you. But notoriety on the Net is being pursued with increasing vigor these days.
Since fame equals attention, and attention draws visitors—which can be converted into dollars through online advertising—fame on the Internet can directly generate money. It may or may not translate into romantic success at a hotel bar, but being famous on the Internet is beginning to grant plenty of other benefits.
Only a few years ago, fame on the Internet was more closely associated with infamy than achievement. Internet celebrities rocketed across the firmament like shooting stars, propelled by their very public embarrassments. In 1999, a Turkish man named Mahir turned himself into an online celebrity with a Web site that greeted visitors, "I kiss you!" and asserted his own stupidness in badly broken English. A month later, a dot-com was treating him like their new mascot and flying him around the world.
But now it’s suddenly more respectable. Online personalities set up sites, build audiences and slowly accumulate notoriety. Web celebrities can architect their own ascent and stick around for a while. Internet fame still remains different than real fame in many ways. To achieve real fame, you must please the masses. Internet fame is most efficiently attained by appealing to a sophisticated niche audience, then growing the fan base from there.
Real celebrities get confronted by admirers on the street and in restaurants. Internet celebrities are more likely to be interrupted at home, by megabytes of unsolicited e-mail from people who think they have a personal relationship with them. Internet fame can also be cultivated almost entirely by yourself, with a PC, lots of free time and some ingenuity. There are no intermediaries, and you get to choose exactly how much of yourself you reveal. The masses vote on your worthiness with their attention.
To achieve real fame online you must______.
选项
A、appeal to the masses
B、be notorious in a very short time
C、be efficient in building up a website
D、please a small but growing select audience
答案
D
解析
属细节题。原文第五段最后一句指出:网上出名最有效的办法就是先吸引少量观众,然后在此基础上发展自己的“粉丝”。所以答案为D。A项“吸引大众”是想出名都要做的事情(本段倒数第二句),而题干问的是网上出名的办法。B项中的be notorious和C项中的building up awebsite虽然符合原文,但in a very short time以及be efficient在原文中没有明确提到。
