Time Magazine's person of the year is...

US!....

NEW YORK (Reuters) - You were named Time magazine "Person of the Year" on Saturday for the explosive growth and influence of user-generated Internet content such as blogs, video-file sharing site YouTube and social network MySpace. ..Grossman said the creators and consumers of user-generated Internet sites showed a community and collaboration on a scale never seen before.
"It's about the many wresting 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," said Grossman, Time's technology writer and book critic.
"The tool that makes this possible is the World Wide Web," he said. "It's a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people and making them matter."

...Oh yeah!....We bad!

I've seriously believed since joining the blogosphere a little more than a year ago,that it had the potential to be an important influence in our lives.

Ideas and opinions shared at light speed across the globe,between people of every rank and file,unhindered by the self-serving spin of governments and the media...People,talking to people..

I'd even go so far as to say that the recent shake-up in Congress was due,in part,to the seeds of discontent planted right here in Bloggertown.

Speaking for myself,when things of any consequence occur virtually anywhere,I think to myself, "How will this affect my friend?"..and it becomes personal...

Or maybe I read too much into this thing of ours.I don't know about that,..but I do know this!..I'm going to make some space on the mantle..
