"...for seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing
the new digital democracy, for working for nothing and beating
the pros at their own game, TIME's Person of the Year for 2006 is you."
This week on the Bulldog Reporter Audio panel that I participated in we discussed how to get across to management at companies, be it your own or a client, that blogging and new media in general is as significant as it is. Well, I think this appointment by Time will go a long way to showing some of the folks that may still not be aware of the power of new media just what it is all about.
"It's a story about community and collaboration on a scale
never seen before. It's about the cosmic compendium of
knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people's network
YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. 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. "
What a great choice, Time. Bravo!
And bravo to everyone who has made this happen, including YOU!
Just a little tidbit for us all today. Thanks for stopping by.
