Nick Bilton, the New York Times Online contributor, commented in Monday that as more and more people became interested in Silicon Valley technology stars such as Zuckerberg and jobs, many tech celebrity news Nick Bilton the cover of gossip magazine, and Silicon Valley is becoming the new Hollywood.

The following is the full text of the article:

Their wedding was on the cover of gossip magazine. Every detail of the honeymoon was filmed and uploaded online. Whether they are touring on a luxurious cruise or strolling through the ancient Italian cobbled roads, their movements are tracked by paparazzi. Even after they dined at a restaurant in Rome, the bill that had been signed by the groom was on the web. (They ordered an Italian dumpling and two cups of tea, totaling 32 euros.) )

No. I'm not talking about Angelina Jolie (Angelina Jolie) and Brad Pitt (Brad Pitt). I'm talking about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg) and his new wife, Precious Priscilla (Priscilla Chan).

Science and technology news is more than just science and technology news. On the contrary, the technology industry is now Hollywood.

Of course, Zuckerberg is not the only technology star on the entertainment headlines. A growing number of tech start-ups are on the cover of people (arranges), Vanity Fair (Vanity Fair) and Vogue magazine, appearing in carefully crafted and beautified photographs.

The changes can also be seen in the headlines of tech blogs, especially the gossip-oriented technology blogs.

Leine Tet (Ryan Tate) is the author of the former gossip website Gawker gossip blogger and the 20% Creed. In recent years, he argues, the public has become increasingly interested in the gossip of Silicon Valley tech stars.

"In Gawker, we are seeing a growing interest among readers of Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Google's CEO, Foursquare, Dropbox and other tech stars. "said the Tate.

He said he had published a very small blog about Dropbox CEO Dru Houston (Drew Houston) in Gawker, "resulting in nearly 300,000 page views, links to various places, and even the Daily Mail of the British newspaper." He thought the number of readers should be around 15,000.

"It shocked me. The influence of technology industry news is far beyond Silicon Valley, "" When there are so many negative news and economic weakness around the world, people want to read gossip about celebrities, and now they want to read the news of Silicon Valley tech stars, who are often unusually active and mostly young and attractive, "he said. ”

News of technology billionaires such as Bill Gates and Oracle's CEO, Ellison, has been on the media for years, with more than a private jet, an indoor trampoline, and more than a tens of millions of dollars worth of luxury homes, have repeatedly become headlines. But public attention is often drawn to the awe and risk-taking of their huge bank accounts, rather than to themselves or their companies.

After all, how sexy is Oracle database software or Windows office?

A new generation of tech celebrities is often too popular with the public because their products are more approachable: Facebook, Twitter and Angry Birds have hundreds of millions of users.

These technology geeks still have nerds, like playing Dungeons and Dragons. But the shift in power and celebrity from Hollywood to Silicon Valley is making the boundaries of the two increasingly blurred.

After a certain degree of fame, wealth and public attraction, news in the tech industry has long been a story not only of the tech industry but also of People magazine's cover.
