We are all "Time's Person of the Year 2006"
Time Magazine's Person Of The Year for 2006 is out. It is You!. By surfing the World Wide Web and leaving our footprints in cyberspace, we are all "Time's Person of the Year 2006".
So, unlike the history of " Great Man", Time Magazine celebrates "community and collaboration on a scale never seen before."
The cosmic compendium of knowledge "Wikipedia"; the million-channel people's network "YouTube"; the online metropolis "MySpace", all made possible because of the new World Wide Web. The new Web is a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people. Experts call it Web 2.0.
We, the users, make Web 2.0. We made 'Facebook' profiles; 'Second Life' avatars; 'Amazon' reviews; recorded podcasts; blogged and built open-source software.
Time Magazine calls Web 2.0 "a massive social experiment". How will this social experiment work out? No one knows. But we are all on-board for the ride.
