Time Person of the Year: You!

time_you
Time Magazine nominates the ‘2006 Person of the Year’ - You. That’s right, in the coveted editorial section of Time - reserved in other years for the likes of Bill Gates, Bill Clinton and Rudolph Giuliani - the editors aren’t talking about any single person. Instead, they’re acknowledging the massive impact that the internet has had on empowering consumers, putting the world into your hands. This is a fantastic editorial, covering the meteoric rise of sites like YouTube.com, detailing remarkable individuals that have done everything from whistleblowing on government scandals to writing over 12,000 book reviews on Amazon. For anyone wishing to glimpse the future of the internet, this is a must.
