I must say that this is not something i would have expected from Wired. i guess they do have changed quite a bit in the last year. Wired wants to facilitate you a ego trip or inspire yo to go out and seek internet fame. the Celebrity Meter Widget is a way to let you know if you are Internet Famous.

“Are You Internet Famous? Use the Wired Celebrity Meter to find out how big a deal you really are. Our algorithm will dig through your personal pages to find out how many fans are following your online exploits.”

Not much else to say. you can get the widget embed code within the widget here or as i have posted it.. i do find it disappointing that they could not do a proper Flash or Silverlight widget instead of a common iframe widget. i mean. they are wired….
