[applegrove]

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

1. Thanks for the heads up !

;) :hi:

[mtnsnake]

2. Well I'll be damned! They picked.....

me....mtnsnake!

I don't feel I deserve it, but I'd just like to take this time to thank everyone who voted for me. I'm honored to be Time Magazine's PERSON OF THE YEAR. :smoke:

[applegrove]

4. I can just see your smilie on the cover...smoke hovering about the page.

[babylonsister]

3. Pls. keep me/us posted. I have one option tonight; football. nt

[applegrove]

6. The first part is a big long comercial for Time. Nothing so far on the candidates.

President could be POY every years (aside by someone else.. "please not this year").

First candidate is Ademajad, and shite power. It's been a year of bad guys.

Rumsfield mishandleling Iraq.

[babylonsister]

8. Thank you, applegrove. I get to switch back during commercials,

so I appreciate the input.

[The River]

5. It Should Be "The Voters"

We were the ones who said NO to the worst
administration in the History of the U.S.
We Citizen/Voters sent a signal to the World
that we've had enough, that we were repudiating
the criminal cabal that squats in Washington.

[applegrove]

7. Now Bush being accountable for every mistake Rumsfield has made.

Next.. Cheney - but how do you know what Cheney really has done.
Perhaps Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield as the axis of failure LOL

[applegrove]

9. James Baker is a late-comer. Next You Tube.

[BayCityProgressive]

10. I think Nancy Pelosi

First female speaker and holds the publics views on the war. Shift to the left (San Fran Liberal). There hasn't been a move to the left in this country in DECADES.

[bigwillq]

11. When will they announce it?

:shrug:

[applegrove]

13. Only after they have advertised Time Magazine on air for another

hour perhaps.

[bigwillq]

14. Well when is this special

suppose to be over? I'm sure it has a time limit and I am sure they will announce it near the end of the program.

[eleny]

15. Larry King is on at the top of the hour

[bigwillq]

16. So around 9 p.m.

we will know? :shrug:

[eleny]

21. I just tuned in myself

[bigwillq]

24. Just let me know when they announce it.

Thanks.

[applegrove]

12. Kim from North Korea ...they say it isn't such a big deal..Iraq is what

it is all about. Failure in Iraq is more than a year old. Democrats coming back to power is up now. Pelosi, first female third in line.

Next self generated user content on the net or You Tube. Perhaps a group of people involved in user generated content. Culture is becoming a bottom up thing. You Tube re: the George Allen comment. Is this informative or are we entertaining ourselves to death. The way people consume media is new to our lives. Maybe they should let the users generate the time winner. That represents the relationship to old media with the knew media.

17. Colbert and Stewart - YEAH!

Won't happen, but nice to dream.

[applegrove]

20. Yeah!

[applegrove]

18. Now some bloggers are added to the discussion. First guy says

leaders of North Korea and Iran. The woman says Nancy Pelosi since her readers of women. Founders of You Tube. Barak Obama won blog contest. Foley. Now they talk about Al Gore and his personification of the environmental movement.

Colbert & John Stewart. Rumsfield again. Obama has hit his stride too soon to the end of the year to be for 2006.

[applegrove]

19. People on the Street... Britney Spears cause she finally dumped Kfed.

Hillary Clinton and Rummy were mentioned too.

[applegrove]

22. Larry King says Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

[applegrove]

23. One of three finalists: Woo (?) of China...China being the story. Rise of China

Third largest economy in the world.

[babylonsister]

26. Who's the new UN Sec.Gen.? Woo who?

Couldn't resist...:hide:

[applegrove]

28. I couldn't get the name right for king of china LOL

[babylonsister]

31. So Woo is king? Who knew Woo?

:rofl:

[applegrove]

35. Huo?

[babylonsister]

39. Huo knew Woo?

TOO easy! ;)

[applegrove]

42. The winner is YOU!

[babylonsister]

45. No, it's me, you, Whoo, and Huo!

:toast: I take it the winners weren't 'just' Americans. :)

[applegrove]

47. I guess Rumsfield did win if he looks at the cover too. Though nobody

would call him "new media" he certainly does generate alot of self-serving content.

[babylonsister]

40. Ban Ki-moon is the new guy in town, no relation to Woo. nt

[applegrove]

25. User Generated content Power ie the internet. Power in the hands of many.

The scale in which this is happening all over the world. I think this is one of the three. The story would be the founders of You Tube if it is picked one.

[applegrove]

27. Akmadenajab and the rise of Shite Power is one of the three.

[mtnester]

29. I am going with the You Tube Guys

[applegrove]

30. The Winner - after the commercial break!

[applegrove]

32. The Winner is YOU...It is a mirror. Everyone changing the world with

User content. New Media. Digital Democracy.

US! At the DU!!!

[Minnesota_Lib]

33. Woot! I am the person of the year! All bow down to me.

:)

[mtnsnake]

34. haha, I was right. See post #2

I tried to tell y'all. :smoke:

[babylonsister]

36. ROFL! nt

[applegrove]

37. You were right.

[citizen snips]

38. that was a wasted hour

Time Magazine sucks I wanted some controversy.

[IndianaGreen]

41. It figures that TIME would choose mylar as the "person" of the year

A total waste of bandwidth!

[applegrove]

43. I love it! It means we all won here at the DU! That's who. I like it!

[applegrove]

44. I like the play on the fact that the old media: Time, has to pass on

the generation of the photo to each and every person who uses new media to generate their own content.

[citizen snips]

46. they could have done the president of Monaco for all I care

but not a piece of fucking mylar tape.

[applegrove]

48. Don't you get it? They are saying..we are not worthy us "old media".

It is a mya culpa of sorts! We have been after some news organization to say this for a while.
