Internet years pass much quicker than real years. It is due to the very frequent and enormous amount of updates on blogs and news sites.

Example: if you bump into an image that you had seen days ago it feels like it happened ages ago.
Fred Flinstone's comment: "I can't wait to try this videogame. When is it coming out?"

Michael J. Fox's comment: "Where have you been in the past 100 internet years? Your grandma might have rocked that game."

Get the internet years mug.
The amount of time a person is relevant on the internet. One accual year is 365 days. One internet year is 122 days. the reason an internet year is shorter than a regular year is because the internet moves on quick. the time of relevance for a trend on the internet is almost always around 122 days. 122 days is about 4 months which is the average time of relevancy of a trend.
Person 1: Have you seen this trend on youtube? person 2: That trend is so dead! person 1: What? its only 4 months old!
person 2: thats an internet year
