"Remember Andy Warhol and his fifteen minutes of fame for everyone? His derivative works involving Campbell’s Soup and Marilyn Monroe? The internet has changed the definition of fifteen minutes and modern technology infinitely decreased the barrier of entry for creation and communication of derivative works. What particularly fascinates me is the way that the internet is temporally unhinged. Those fifteen minutes now last forever. Any media uploaded and the commentary typed about it will remain indelibly on the web. Googleable, screen-shot, archived, waiting to be stumbled-upon, reblogged. Things that happened years ago are also happening right now on monitors and smart-phones across the world.
[…]
People will repost an old interview or set of photos as though it is new to drive more traffic to their site, further confusing the timeline."
