Well done everybody, you've been named 'Person Of The Year' by Time magazine, and can I just say, you really deserve the honour. Yep, the US news weekly has named the population at large as its 'Person Of The Year' or, rather, anyone in the population at large who has been utilising new internet platforms to speak to the world. The award has been made in recognition of the importance of the likes of YouTube, MySpace, Wikipedia and Facebook (the latter of which I'm still trying to fathom) in the news and media world of 2006.
The magazine's Lev Grossman explained: "It's about the many wrestling power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes. [The web] is a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people and making them matter".
Of course, before all you bloggers and wiki contributors get too excited about being named Time Magazine's Person Of The Year, remember who else has shared the honour over the years. In 1979 it went to Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini while in 1938 it was given to one Adolf Hitler.
