Time Magazine Person of the Year — It's You

Thib writes to point out that Time Magazine has picked you — or us, or the Internet — as Person of the Year because you control the Information Age. From the article: "But look at 2006 through a different lens and you'll see another story, one that isn't about conflict or great men. 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."

    myRedbook is not a loser. It is a web site that serves as a supermarket where customers hook up with prostitutes working in the Bay Area. The prostitutes come from various countries and have a wide range of ages.

    The team that runs myRedbook is smart. The know how to evade law enforcement.

    By the way, if you choose to visit the myRedbook web-site, be aware that the employees of myRedbook use various strategies (e.g. recording and tracing your Internet-Protocol address) to defeat law enforcement. These strategies could compromise your privacy.
