Peeps of the Year - Bloggers

I don't know how Time does their selection but if you are looking for a group that has had influence in the past year I would vote for bloggers.

Last year we were pretty much a fringe group. Oh we had been around for a while, even I had been blogging for more than 18 months at this time last year, but every time there was a mention of bloggers on a major media outlet it was a big thing and lots of us wrote it up. Now I am stuck by how many matter of fact references Bloggers get and how many people have heard of us. Even my cousin in NYC who doesn't have a computer knows about bloggers.

People like Glenn, Jeff and Roger are regularly of news shows.

The reason for this is of course Rathergate, but if it hadn't been that there would have been another incident where the new media broke out to such an extent that they could not be ignored by the dinosaurs at Black Rock and other media fortresses.
Maybe it would have been the UN Oil for food scam which is still being under investigated.

Whatever it might have been it would have happened and now the genie is out of the bottle. We are strong, we are invincible, I just hope that we don't get so full of ourselves that we become stupid.

Note:
Man of the Year should really be Prisedent Bush but the wimps at Time will go to any extreme in order to not give him his due.
