"15toFame is a new website that's turning its home page over to you for 15 minutes at a time... In short, it's the online platform your budding acting/singing/juggling/synchronized-swimming career has long deserved. For 15 minutes, the website will be yours and yours alone. So you'll start by picking the best time slot available. Then you'll embed your 15-minute YouTube video...and wait. Then, when your video airs, fawning viewers from around the world will witness your stirring ode to freedom and/or painstaking shot-for-shot remake of Avatar. If you've impressed them -and we have absolute faith that you will- they'll hit the "clap" button under your video. Earn enough "claps" and you'll make it onto the site's Wall of Fame." UrbanDaddy Entertainment, January 29, 2010
"15tofame, un servicio que permite subir trozos de vídeo de Youtube de 15 minutos como máximo, los suficientes para mostrar a la gente cantando, bailando, llorando o haciendo cualquier cosa para ser famoso... Si durante ese cuarto de hora se descubre a alguien elegido para la gloria, se puede aplaudir el vídeo, que terminará en la parte superior de una "Wall of Fame" con un enlace a YouTube donde está el vídeo almacenado, por si se quieren seguir las correrías del famoso en ciernes." Daniel Civantos, January 25, 2010
"15tofame.com allows aspiring artists and musicians the chance to demonstrate their talent for 15 minutes... A 15tofame video is shown continuously for 15 minutes and broadcast simultaneously all over the world... It's potentially the world's biggest talent show, broadcasting the wares of humble YouTube users and exploring the possibilities of fame." Ally Millar, January 25, 2010
"Launched at the beginning of 2010, site 15tofame aims to make that well-known Andy Warhol saying finally true - "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes."... The result is a site that shows one video at a time for 15 minutes. The videos are uploaded by users who want to show the world that they are good at something... I guess it's like a themed constantly-running playlist." Anna Leach, January 25, 2010
"15toFame is an interesting little take on Warhol's claim that one day we'll all be famous for 15 minutes. The site features a single YouTube video on the front page which anyone can use to show off their skillz and gain notoriety." Nigel Powell, January 25, 2010
"There's something to be said for this new start-up. In this world of short attention span, jump from one thing to the next, getting trapped in a 'YouTube loop', boom-bang-pow media, this site is aiming to give everybody their 15 minutes of fame à la Andy Warhol... It almost an extension of Anthony Gormley's 'One and Other' project on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square. Only this one might never end..." Ian Hughes, January 20, 2010
"15tofame permette agli utenti di caricare un video che sarà visibile ininterrottamente per 15 minuti a chiunque si collegasse al sito; ma attenzione: con 15tofame si ha una sola chance, e una volta passati i fatidici 15 minuti non si potrà replicare." Fulvio Pennacchio, January 20, 2010
"L'aveva detto più di quarant'anni fa Andy Warhol, e ora la sua profezia diventa realtà. Con il sito 15toFame.com chiunque potrà essere famoso per quindici minuti...
15toFame è il luogo dedicato ai nuovi talenti che vogliono farsi conoscere... Il nuovo servizio, una vera e propria vetrina, potrebbe avere enorme seguito." Floriana Ferrando, January 15, 2010
"You might ask why should someone publish a video on the site if it is already on YouTube? YouTube has a plethora of undiscovered talents but now is overflowing with people trying to get noticed, so the chances of all of them getting notoriety are almost nil. 15tofame.com allows the focus to be on one video for 15 minutes." Bobby B., January 15, 2010
"15toFame nace con la misión de ofrecer 15 minutos de fama a cualquier usuario que tenga un vídeo de youtube mostrando sus habilidades.
Sólo tenemos que elegir algún intervalo de tiempo disponible e indicar la dirección de nuestro vídeo en el minuto correcto, 15toFame mostrará el vídeo a los supuestos miles de usuarios que lo estarán viendo." Juan Diego Polo, January 4, 2010
"Essentially, the website will let anybody upload a short clip that highlights his/her main claim to fame. That could be just anything - writing simultaneously with both hands, playing the guitar with your feet, making a dog communicate in new ways... you get the idea.
The site aims to be a spot for the discovery of new talent...
The premise is not a farfetched one to me, and I know many a show-off that would put the site to its intended use, specially knowing that a fully-receptive crowd is watching for sure." RogerH, January 4, 2010
"15toFAME propose à tout un chacun de publier sa vidéo et que celle-ci s'affiche seule en une du site pendant quinze minutes, à l'exclusion de toute concurrence.
Les apprenties-célébrités n'ont pas grand chose à faire à part une vidéo et avoir un peu de talent: choisir un créneau horaire, saisir le lien de leur vidéo et attendre que celle-ci arrive en une pour quinze minutes de frisson mégalo." Eric, January 4, 2010
"15toFame is certainly an interesting idea ... Allowing users to sign up/in via Facebook is a great idea, and increases the potentially viral nature of the concept ... 15toFame offers a fun interface and cool features for those looking to make themselves a bit more popular on the interwebs." Ethan Smith, January 3, 2010
"Another outstanding feature is the simplicity with which users share their favorite videos seen on 15tofame. Users can instantly share them via the main social networks like Facebook and Twitter creating a viral buzz immediately." Social Guy, January 1, 2010
"15toFame looks to be a new tool in the tech minded individuals of the coming decade. The approach used is ingenious ... If you've always wanted to be that mega celeb or just wanted the stereotypical 15 minutes of fame, 15toFame looks to be one of your best options going in to 2010." Mike, December 31, 2009
"We all think we're good a something. X Factor proves everyone think they can sing like Mariah Carey. But we also learned through that medium that there really are some great performers out there and if it were not for X Factor or such shows, we'd probably never discover them.
Now there is another way to get yourself discovered. 15tofame.com is a new website that will give you an opportunity to shine for 15 minutes. Its cool. " Konrad Walsh, December 31, 2009
