No, this is not a post-modern celebrity children's book, nor is this a lame Britney Spears linkbait article.
The fact is, Britney Spears fame illustrates the power of social networks and social linking perfectly. Social Linking Defined
Understanding social linking is simple: It's all about your "presence" in someone else's mind (and heart). So, on a raw emotional level, it's about how many people you've... distracted, connected with, touched, moved, angered, irritated, teased, humored, etc...
The more emotions you have evoked, the more powerful you're presence.

I don't think many of you will argue that Britney Spears has tremendous media presence. I also doubt if many reading this post will argue that her notoriety has anything to do with her music - it's just not that -well, musical.
