Congrats to all of you!!!
This year Time Magazine’s person of the year is you, me or anyone who logged on to his/her PC and writes a post on his/her blog.
The “Great Man” theory of history is usually attributed to the Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle, who wrote that “the history of the world is but the biography of great men.” He believed that it is the few, the powerful and the famous who shape our collective destiny as a species. That theory took a serious beating this year.
Yes I knew about this. Thanks for reminding 🙂
We really deserve it. Isn’t it ?
Internet is decentralizing the power and giving it to the common people. It’s really creating a global democracy.
Well, yes… we the bloggers are becoming a powerful force now. Lets see if the force can be channelised into something great.
“But 2006 gave us some ideas. This is an opportunity to build a new kind of international understanding, not politician to politician, great man to great man, but citizen to citizen, person to person. It’s a chance for people to look at a computer screen and really, genuinely wonder who’s out there looking back at them. Go on. Tell us you’re not just a little bit curious”
so correct .. its good to know they include people (like me) who write just like that .. to share , dear diary type entries..
Ahh so much talking on this!
Any blog or any yahoo group.

Hi,Alka..what’s up?No new posts?Still celebrating at winning the Time mag ‘person of the year’ award?
Dear Alka,
I am proud of you as a fellow Dwivedi. Well Done.
Although I have remained out of the limelight, my video on Youtube about consumer rights enforcement using youtube, stirred up a little storm and was featured on NDTV 24×7 (webcast dated 23/7/07) and Hindustan Times ePaper website, dated 29/7/07.
There’s so much that can be done to expose the wrong doings and non doings of Arrogant Politicos/Bureaucrats/Powerful corporates, using the medium of Youtube/Freedom of info act/RTI and ofcourse emailing the persons the video link (specially their bosses and the media).
May web 2.0 and Edu 2.0 rock on and pake positive changes…but you gotta be ALIVE…not just comfortably numb!
Best Always
Kesh
