Time magazine names you 'Person of the Year'

CNET News.com: "You were named Time magazine 'Person of the Year' on Saturday for the explosive growth and influence of user-generated Internet content from such sources as blogs, video-sharing site YouTube and social-networking site MySpace.com.
'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,' the magazine's Lev Grossman wrote.
The magazine has put a mirror on the cover of its 'Person of the Year' issue, released on Monday, 'because it literally reflects the idea that you, not us, are transforming the Information Age,' Editor Richard Stengel said in a statement. "
