“...for seizing the reins of the global

media, for founding and framing the

new digital democracy, TIME's

Person of the Year for 2006 is you”

Time Magazine Dec. 2006

“Conversations are happening and they'll happen with

or without you” www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27438286

They’re Dynamic, Engaging, Real

and can never be turned off.

It is disorganized

uncontrolled

touchy

and authentic.

Customers are no longer listening

They are talking

On a large scale

"I post on blogs and BBS because I can express myself to millions of people at once. I

like the rush and I feel empowered”
