This will never happen again.  Today I am writing about the same subject as thousands of other bloggers.  Today we are all writing about Time Magazine’s pick as the Person of the Year.  If you haven’t heard, this year’s person of the year is you.  The POTY is the collective you, the lovely user community.  The title goes to all of us who are contributing to the web community. 

To quote the Time Magazine article,  “It’s a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It’s about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people’s network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It’s about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes.”

“We’re looking at an explosion of productivity and innovation, and it’s just getting started, as millions of minds that would otherwise have drowned in obscurity get backhauled into the global intellectual economy.”

Web 2.0 has hit the mainstream and business as usual has gone bye-bye.  The new generation has arrived.  As of now, this can no longer be your father’s intranet.
