Those crazy kids over at Parsons School of Design have gone and created a course called “Internet Famous” The point, as you might suspect from the title, is to have the students pursue a competitive curriculum designed to see who can garner the greatest degree of Internet fame during the course the semester by using social sites, videos, pranks, hoaxes and any other manner of web fame fun.

Now, for your edification, the syllabus and class assignments for said course are online so that you, dear reader, can play along and make your own sparkling self Internet Famous (minus the hassles of meeting in person for class, turning in homework and paying tuition), design-school style.

The above link goes to the syllabus overview, which will give you some idea of what the course involves. You can click through the archives to view individual class instructions, or hit the blog to get the latest updates on what those wacky coeds have been up to.

Enjoy.

Oh, and Happy Internet Famous New Year to you, too.
