NYPOST: "A German artist has invented an accessory that publicizes how many mentions you get in a Google search - a ring that flashes the number on a digital display.
Your Google ranking is the new status symbol, more than diamonds and wealth or even being on television," said Marcus Kison, 30, who spent six months producing the glass prototype.
Kison is looking for a marketer for the titanium band, which he says should fetch upwards of $700, and wants it to hit the market next year. It comes with a jewel-case docking station that plugs into a computer. Every time you "charge" the ring, it updates your latest Google ranking.
(Paris Hilton, you're at 17.5 million hits as of this writing.)
"Being in people's minds means being important . . . Every content creator that copies and pastes your name will raise the value of your virtual mirrored importance," Kison said.
Kison says President Bush is No. 1 in Google hits, with 40.1 million.
"Just by inventing the ring, I've jumped to 10,000," Kison boasts. "
FF: "Danny Cheng, you're No. 1 in Google Hong Kong, Yeah~~"
