Now that we know certain selfies have value (thanks Ellen, thanks Beyoncé), we know they aren’t always trivial. Or even if they are, they can be valuable too. So what’s the most sought-after selfie?

Ellen DeGeneres took the most epic selfie in the history of the word epic . Could this Oscars shot be the most retweeted of all-time? So much beauty. So much talent. So much money. So many Oscar wins. In ONE selfie. Never again will any picture you take matter.

Posting photos of ourselves online is an inviting and informative way to keep in touch.

As told by the adorable 10-year-old Macy Friday, who won over the internet after her picture with the former Secretary of State and First Lady went viral.

It's official. The Oscars have finally crash-landed into the 21st century and the results are record breaking.....  In a nod to a moment of sheer genius that set the social media world ablaze, host Ellen DeGeneres made history as she gathered some of Hollywood's most elite and took the selfie to end all selfies. In just under an hour, said photo broke the record previously held by President Barack Obama to become the most retweeted photograph ever. By the end of the telecast, which clocked in at a few minutes past eternity, the figure stood at more than two million retweets.

Is the ability to take a "selfie" with your smartphone in front of precious pieces of art a good thing?
