I mean this in the most superficial sense; not people we know who are close to us, or mean something tangible in our lives. Rather, the constant bombardment of celebrity figures — sports, television, movies, music — and the infinite swirl of sub-sections. My question was, how many people do we know this way? What is the number? The people who when I say Beyoncé, you know what I’m talking about? There must be thousands.

Independent filmmakers will soon have a new option for renting their films to viewers online: Dynamo, a start-up set to be announced at South by Southwest on Saturday evening, which will allow video producers to set their own prices and embed their videos wherever they want.

Thus, there is a little evidence that popes experience saint-making fatigue as their tenure in office lengthens.
