Andy Warhol was a philopsoher/artist. One classic line was prophetic: In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
He rightly extrapolated that Hollywood's shenanagins, transforming anonymous citizens, into royalty or godly beings feeding on a swarm of attention and photographers, would transfer to the general public. Fighting for youtube glory is a new trend.
Today, everyone is a secret(?) camera whore thriving on the hopes of being noticed. If you don't believe me, count how many mute and unpolished self-photos are available on the net. I've only needed to use one hand. There is typical element of glam when one posts images to the world's network.
Now that we've demystified the trend, "everyone wants to be noticed," here's the tip: commemorate people as special (even if they aren't). It shouldn't matter if you're paying tribute to the ugly kids, the uncoordinated, or the socially inept. Notice people and compliment them. Chances are, nobody talked to them, so you'll be truly outstanding. As for the fame angle, treat someone new (everyday) as a rockstar and your coolness will skyrocket. This is actually the bedrock principle to being a social butterful. Give, give, give, and soon you'll see a river of get, get, get.
