Time Magazine: “person of the year”
Time Magazine created controversy by naming their annual ”person of the year” as you and I … the people who create blogs and other online content for anyone anywhere in the world to read. So I guess that means ME!!

I’ve been online in some form or another since the early 90’s and have been lucky to know know about the online world since the late 80’s. I love the idea of blogging and getting my ideas out there. I have many inspirations in the online world and read many blogs everyday. The Daily Kos , Keith Olbermann’s blogs, and many library world blogs. I think it truly visionary that Time would name the online world as people of the year as now and forever it has changed how people get and view information. Just sit next to a person at a conference and watch them pound away on a laptop telling the world about what is going on in that very moment. As I write this article Chris Matthews of MSNBC Hardball is blogging from the funeral of Gerald Ford. So as I write this I may be preaching to a choir of true believers, but if not maybe you will become a reader of thoughtfulness that comes from someone who sits down and blogs about what is current, topical, whistful, and occasionally meanful if only for the person writing the blog. So all of you bloggers…CONGRATULATIONS on a job well done!
