Marissa Mayer gets hooked on a Hasselhoff
At a conference last week, Google's most public VP (Marissa "Evita" Mayer) was spotted crediting sites like Google Video for the rise of Z-list celebs. And, sadly, she's right — the Star-Wars-Kid news cycle shrank from months to hours, thanks to some low-rent stars, not all of them new. Says Mayer:
In this type of world, everyone is a celebrity....You can thank us for it or not, but it does cause things like a David Hasselhoff video to be the biggest video in the world.
On the list of accomplishments in Google's corporate history book, will David Hasselhoff videos go below or above Froogle?
