Ok, this is a game.
Gods tend to have something that they are in charge of, like: Agriculture, art, music, science, war, etc.
So, what kinds of things would gods be in charge of today. It's a different world. Some of the old charges might not be needed anymore and new ones may need to be created to better serve modern society.
Create a modern day god:
The god of.....

Have fun!

That one part in "I Want You to Want Me"
And what the Spice Girls, really really want

Cribbing mercilessly from Sheridan:
Miss Malapropraited: goddess of mispeak and lost words.
This is the spinster sister of the god of misheard lyrics and the god of bad puns.
My gran invoked her often.
Some noted appearances:
Former Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley: "Gentlemen, get the thing straight once and for all—the policeman isn't there to create disorder, the policeman is there to preserve disorder."
It was reported in New Scientist that an office worker described a colleague as "a vast suppository of information". (i.e., repository or depository) The worker then apologised for his "Miss-Marple-ism". (i.e. malapropism] New Scientist reported it as possibly the first time malapropism has been turned into a malapropism.
Time reported Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern as warning his country against "upsetting the apple tart" (i.e., apple cart) of his country's economic success.
"Mr Speaker, you are the anecdote to verbal diarrhoea- [Laughter]" — Tobias Ellwood, MP for Bournemouth East, UK
"Order. I think the word for which the hon. Gentleman was vainly searching was probably "antidote"." — John Bercow, MP, Speaker of the House, UK
Mike Smith, Reds pitcher - When ordering a salad in a restaurant, said to a waitress, "Be sure and put some of those neutrons on it." [The word is croutons.]

Re: The god of..... ~game~
This topic reminds me of Neil Gaiman's book 'American Gods', where things like the Media and the Internet have evolved into god-forms.
As for a new god, I'd go for Insultassumedonline - This god places doubt and fear of insults in people wanting to post an opinion online, usually resulting in that opinion never being expressed.

Sisters, daugthers of the god of addiction and the goddess of coffee. They lure drivers off the road into any Starbucks they set eyes on.

By name they are:
Frappeta

All hail the mighty Ticketus, lord of the public transport. Wherever a bus drives off from the stop just as you run around the corner, wherever a man groans as his train carriage stops and 30 screaming school children board, wherever a teenage douchebag plays shitty music at maximum volume on his phone instead of using headphones, or a stinking, ranting hobo decides to sit right across the aisle from you, he is there. He is in seats that have been urinated upon, and in tickets which have been lost, and in heating turned to maximum in the middle of summer,and ye, he is whispering into the soul of the driver who spins his bus around corners at 20kph over the speed limit, hoping to crash and so end his menial existence!. All shall tremble before Ticketus, and sacrifice to him that they may be spared his discomfort and irritation and inconvenience and bad smells!

Very simply, Lulz, the god of inappropriate laughs.
Need a laugh? Think you shouldn't but need to anyway? Want someone to laugh at a funeral and humiliate themselves, petition Lulz!

Virule: god of memes
His champion is The Most Interesting Man in the World.
His will is carried out by the GEICO Gecko who commands legions of Eloquent and Refined Cavemen.
He sends us his Helpful Mallard to share his advice, his Philosoraptor to aid us in meaningful contemplation, and his Bear who shows us the ways of confession.
When he was still mortal, Chuck Norris so pleased Virule that Virule granted him immunity to cobra venom and the power to slay all people in the world. To this day, Chuck Norris has allowed them to live.
Virule's many saints include Boromir to warn us of things one simply does not do, and his brother Eddard to warn of what is coming.
Beware Virule's anger! Lest you see his Rage Face and he send his avenger who is an Overly Manly Man who commands and infinite army of Grumpy Cats.

Fate is an unworthy ruler. Unfair, Unjust, and altogether uncaring. Do not be ruled by Fate. Usurp it, conquer it, and make it your bitch. Only then can you call yourself a Master.

A neo-celtic god: te'efel
The god of the London Underground system. He is a cruel trickster god manipulating his many subterranean followers to ensure that the station you want is always closed due to escalator maintenance, the line you need is experiencing severe delays and that signal failures will only ever happen when your train is in a tunnel. However, he has a benevolent side also: to his many devotees he occasionally offers a spot of good luck, such as your train arriving on the platform at the same time as you and the smelly drunk guy sitting next to someone who isn't you.

There is no Lucifer to folow, no God to obey
There is no Hell for punishment, no Heaven for reward
There are no Demons to fear, no Angels to listen
There is you and your fate
Wake up Alice
You are in Truthland.

Wybotha - the God of Job Dissatisfaction.
He is present in every room full of crammed cubicles and incessant telephone ringing... His laughter can be heard over the clunking of cash registers, His ghastly visage descried in the greasy smoke of a thousand deep fries. Every time someone reaches for the brandy on a Tuesday afternoon, there is Wybotha; He delights in striking boredom and apathy into the hearts of both young and old.
Wybotha may be most easily invoked on a Monday-Friday, between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm.
