Congrats folks… YOU are the Person of the Year!
(I guess that includes me too… yahoooo)
Time revealed its Person of the Year… YOU. (article)
At first I thought this was bullshit, but the more and more I think about it, it is absolutely correct. The internet have allowed the traditionally viewed as ‘little’ people… well… matter. The masses make up that undercurrent of relevance, that only the most seasoned publishers, marketers and Ad personalities can create.
I will argue we still are in the early stages of this, and a consolidation of minds has yet to be truly attempted. However, there is evidence that indepentant voices will always remain, even after a consolidation. Case in point, Danny Sullivan created SearchEngineBlog.com… he later sold it and worked for a bigger company. I guess he got pissed at them and quit, then started a new shop called SearchEngineLand.com. (Sucks to be the owners of SearchEngineBlog.)
