Is there a word for someone who apparantly sees themself as a celebrity, just because they maintain a Myspace page or blog or post regularly to a forum? It's surprising how many people who use the internet big themselves up and believe they are in some way famous. I could mention the names of several deluded-list net celebs, but it's not my style, and I'm not inviting ilxors to do this either. Just wondering if there's a word for the phenomenon..

What's wrong with the traditional "schmuck" to describe people with an inflated opinion of themselves?

is there a word for clever-dick slang-slingers who get off on the atomization of pop jargon? get thee to an urban dictionary.

I thought this was going to be a thread about a special edition of Microsoft Word.
