2006, according Time Magazine is ...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. 

... that's what makes all this interesting. Web 2.0 is a massive social experiment, and like any experiment worth trying, it could fail...

But, as your man of the year, I intend to make Time proud with this new blog, which I dedicate to Tim Berners-Lee.
