Tim Schwartz, a former Assistant Curator of Digital Media at NYC’s Museum of the Moving Image, has invented a funny, but curious device that monitors the number of Internet search results and news stories involving Paris Hilton versus the city of Paris, France called the Paris-O-Meter.
Tim Schwartz must have had quite a lot of time on his hands to measure the results in real time, as the data is measured in real time! I wonder if Paris Hilton would buy this?
