Of course, we ALL wonder happens to the emphatic vloggers and YouTube stunt-makers who enter our pop consciousness for a brief moment, then fade into web-obscurity. Even the band, Weezer, poked fun at this concept in their video for Pork and Beans, which mimicked viral videos and starred web-celebs from years past.
But recently, JR Raphael of PC World took it a step further and went on an extensive quest to learn what 15 of your favorite internet celebs were up to now....
Raphael caught up with everyone from "The Back Dorm Boys" -- made famous for their dorm-room lip-syncs of The Backstreet Boys -- to Matt Harding of "Dancing Matt" -- a collection of videos of Matt dancing around the world. And Raphael included a handful of non-YouTube web celebs too!
