Personally, I hate the acronym USG. User Generated Content. A complete misnomer for something FAR more powerful and far-reaching. User. Bleh. This is about social media and the power of social organizing, organic grassroots social organizing (as opposed to those astro-turf imitations of it).
So YOU are TIME magazine's Person of the Year. But since this is about collective social effects, maybe we should accept the nomination as TIME magazine's PEOPLE of the Year. Yeah, that's the ticket.

CNN reports on TIME Magazine's person of the year. YOU. TIME has embraced the fact that millions upon millions of people are giving up their evenings watching primetime, and choosing to create, co-create, collaborate, share, and produce original content instead (gotta love the simply innovative cover which reflects your face).
So I guess it's official. This isn't a trend.
