That's the qualification for someone to be named Time magazine's "Person of the Year" and now the magazine has announced who their winner is for 2006.
In a year that had so many contenders for the highly-publicized title of "Person of the Year," the editors at Time went the unconventional route when they chose those of us who are on the cutting edge of information technology by participating in the ever-expanding blogosphere as the "person" that deserved this year's distinction. Time magazine chose all of YOU who read, write, and visit blogs as their "Person of the Year" shutting out other potential nominees such as incoming Democrat House majority leader Nancy Pelosi (who I actually thought was a shoe-in for this after the Democrat Party regained control of the U.S. House of Representatives for the first time since 1994), Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, and Iraq Study Group leader James Baker. With the sudden emergence of the popular blogging site MySpace.com and YouTube (which was recently bought by Google) in 2006, there is no denying the influence blogs are making because they give the traditional media their first real competition for eyeballs in the new media age. |
