But Whatever Do You Mean, LGF�?
Fame is not a number. It is difficult to know how famous a person is and how to determine a person's rise or fall. With this in mind the Let's Get Famous™ team has worked with media research students to develop a method to organize and categorize famous persons.
Famous: "widely known and esteemed"
Categories:
Celebrity Fame: Fame based on the person. Whatever a celebrity does is worthy of attention.
Expert Fame: Fame within a category, for example Business, Art, Music,
Film, or Science.
Levels:
HOME: 
home represents the people you know
LOCAL:
local is people who know from a personal interaction
REGIONAL:
people who have heard of you from someone who knows you
CULT: 
cult is the people that follow your actions
NATIONAL: 
people who have no connection to you, but know you
WORLD-WIDE: 
everyone knows you
We have also defined what we call Tradeshow Fame and Restaurant Fame.
Tradeshow Fame represents your ability to act as a draw. These are usually industry players who are well known within their field.
Restaurant Fame is when your presence causes heads to turn and people to murmur in a setting that is not related to your field.

are you suggesting a celebrity rating scale? if so, I believe so... though perhaps not in this forum. we're still working out the kinks.

i don't know what i'm saying. i just don't understand the relevance of these ratings without context. will you place yourselves in this context soon?

I think the idea behind labeling and identifying these things is so that we can put ourselves in context. We have this goal, LGF™, but we need to define the terms of it.

I like this system. I like these images. But is this leading to some rankings? I want to see the system in use.
