OpinionJournal - Federation: "Managing editor Richard Stengel explains the odd choice. He downloaded a video to YouTube asking for input. The responses were numerous. Within days, the video had "tens of thousands of page views and dozens of video submissions and comments." People from across the globe sent in nominations for all kinds of different Persons, including "Sacha Baron Cohen, Donald Rumsfeld, Al Gore and many, many votes for the YouTube guys."
The editors' choice is presented as an exercise in populism, and that's certainly an easy line of attack. In unconnected phone conversations over the weekend, nearly a half dozen people joked to me that they were going to put "Time 2006 Person of the Year" on their resumes."

The time person of the Year is YOU. They have put reflective box which shows your face when you look at it.
This is for making the Inernet age for what it is.
They have several articles on it about the net. The very choice is based on the fact that people responded so well to the video in you tube, says the editor.
I am yet to read fully. Will blog about it for sure.
