Smile! Time Magazine named you (yes, you) as its Person of the Year

Time magazineNow you can wave a copy of Time’s annual year-end issue in the faces of anyone who told you YouTubing gets you nowhere. If you’re one of the millions of people who uploaded (even the silly ones) videos to YouTube, pics to MySpace, contributed knowledge to Wikipedia, or blogged about anything, you’re it.

How did you end up (figurativelly) on the cover of “Time” with other former honorees such as Albert Einstein (1999 Man of the Century), Bill Gates, and U2‘s Bono (2005), as well as Adolph Hitler? Every year the magazine editors choose a person or object (the PC was Machine of the Year in 1983) that good or bad has most affected the course of the year.

According to the magazine, everybody who “took part in this global media… working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game….changing the nature of the information age” is Time’s Person of the Year for 2006.

Congratulations!
