First Internet Star

The year- 1999
The man - Mahir Cagri
The site- I Kiss You

Everyone talks about poor Gary. Maybe he should take a lesson from Mahir who made tours and cut a CD single. This man, from Turkey, is considered the first star of the internet.

Read about him in:

The Globe and Mail - 2001
NY Times - 2001
or check out his list of news articles.

Here's my favorite parody of his site.

Don't forget to watch the video he made. You can find it on the headline webpage.
