It's taken some time, but the creators of some of the worlds most widely used social networks have made it to celebrity status. Two of Twitter's founders -- Ev Williams and Biz Stone -- will appear on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on NBC.
You'de think this type of thing would have happened sooner, but the truth is, no one really adores the creators of websites, apps or even the digital products that govern our lives. I mean I don't want to login into Mark Z's face. I want his Facebook so I can see what's up with my friends. I'm not even friends with him on Facebook so how much do I really care about what he does on a daily basis. When Victoria Beckham goes shopping with her kids everyone tunes in, but Tom Anderson co-founder of MySpace gets the boot, who really cares?
However, it seems this could soon be a shift. If web gurus decide to make there way into more MTV parties and viral video directors get face time at the Emmy's, things will get a little more interesting. Sooner or later it's bound to happen and no can stop it now.
