One who gains a cult or mainstream following due to viral internet distribution. Does not refer to those who have gained limited or cult followings through traditional media. Does not refer to has-beens or "B-list" celebrities.
Lonelygirl15 was nothing until YouTube made her a microcelebrity. Clint Howard is a D-list celebirty, not a microcelebrity.
