I’ve got to say, when the Times Magazine hit my mail box and I saw the cover with a “mirror” on the front and written beneath “Person of the Year” - YOU! (us bloggers), I thought cowards. Then I thought, come to think of it, it might be a tough year to find a person of the year, so why not just go the easy way? Finally, my penchant for snark reared its head and thought that since we have all been named persons of the year in 2006, there’s no one left for 2007. NWA’s “The Morning News” has an interesting point of view on the Times choice and participates in some snark of their own.

This year, the magazine, which has selected a man or person of the year since the 1930s fudged a little bit. Instead of recognizing one person or even a select group the honoree is “You.” For this purpose “You” are defined as users of the World Wide Web, a group which the magazine hails for creating a new type of on-line community in an improved version of the Web apparently dubbed “Web 2.0” by some Silicon Valley enthusiasts.
