The Power of You

EDTime Magazine has either brilliantly captured the changing global nature of communications, or copped out entirely, in its recent choice of “You” as its annual person of the year.  All us bloggers should bask in the reflected glory of the collective you, and polish up some smartass line on how being named Time’s “Person of the Year” was the culmination of a career’s efforts at breaking the logjams that plague communications modalities. By the way, “you” (we) narrowly beat out the runner-up, Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Not a North Korean or an American politician in sight! But Time failed to mention the way-more-brave Iranian bloggers who are pressuring their own government.
