- postitnote, on 10/12/2007, -4/+176Wow kingvar you stole that comment right from binky79...
- Dainjah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+145kingvar, Good job plagiarizing binky79's post. That is seriously lame.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+141Those are some sick Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V skills, kingvar.
- Speff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+132Thanks for the prize, but I don't deserve it. All I did was sit on my ass all year on digg.

Awards:
"Time 2006 Person of the Year" - cualcrees, on 10/12/2007, -1/+65So... will they put a mirror on the cover of the magazine?? i always wanted to be on the cover of time!
- JavertHolmes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+60My only question is how many times the Person of the Year entry at Wikipedia is going to be altered to say a specific person's name.
- digitalsin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+44Damn I'm good. I always knew the world revolved around me.
- Hensworth, on 10/12/2007, -5/+45Thank you, I deserve it too.
- junk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+41Actually they did. It's a little piece of mylar.
- scott1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+38Oh great all those trolls/spammers/bad commentors get person of the year.
- spunkz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+37Heh, I was thinking about making a badge for my blog.
- ardenr, on 10/12/2007, -4/+36Actually it revolves around...
edit: nah ***** it. Too easy, digg down. - Hegemony, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32Sweet... and my sixth grade teacher said I'd never amount to anything. Take that you skanky bitch!
- gcnaddict, on 10/12/2007, -8/+38"kingvar, Good job plagiarizing binky79's post. That is seriously lame."
quite the comment abuser too. He was only looking for digg-ups. kingvar, it's people like you who screw digg. - DirtySnachez, on 10/12/2007, -13/+41Gosh, I know at least 51% of US don't really deserve it.
- hambend, on 10/12/2007, -9/+36***** all you naysayers. The article and the sentiment are both entirely correct. YouTube, Digg, MySpace, Wikipedia, all these things are just the beginning of something far greater. We are just starting to learn how to utilize online social networks, but very soon they will be mature enough that we can apply them to real-life problems.
Already there are social networks that provide loans, and startups trying to create open development environments for hardware products. In the long term, social networks will begin to pick up financial and political sway. Only then, for the first time in human history, we will be free to form the structure of our societies on our own terms, without the interference of corrupt powermongers and hopelessly inefficient bureaucracies.
I honestly don't get why everyone isn't as excited about this as I am... - WombatBob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28I've been the Time person of the year twice now. Once a few years ago when it was the "US Soldiers" although I'm a marine not a soldier, and again this year.
- RoboPimp3000, on 10/12/2007, -5/+30Sooooo lame and a transparent attempt to sell more mags. Time was so much better when they actually focused on current events and didn't devote their cover space to stupid feature stories like "The American Teenager: Is He Retarded?" or "A Day in the Life of a Menopausal Woman".. which are not actual Time Magazine covers but may as well be. Seriously, Time is barely a notch above People nowadays.
- bf5man, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24With their reflective cover, i can't help but think about this great shot from the Big Lebowski: http://static.twoday.net/augenzuppler/images/lebowski_time_mirror.jpg
- stingp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Hey, great idea!
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Yeah! Damn that strait!
http://worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/bering.gif - moxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Ah, so modest!
- postitnote, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Ha... take THAT Hitler. He's been gloating about his person of the year award for a while now.
- wbbb617, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Best part about this all is going to read the article and this is the ad that gets played...

"You might not be Time's Person of the Year....", but you can still drive a Chrysler.
Too bad I AM, guess I shouldn't drive one then. - soul12, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19It's about time!
(poor pun i know) - spunkz, on 10/12/2007, -7/+24Congrats to you too!
- DirtySnachez, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18WTF? Not everyone on digg is in the US of A, I was merely using capital "US" because the article capitalises "YOU"... any connection to petty politics or the significance of a torn nation have only sprung from the fathoms of your over-imaginative analysis of my non-descript comment.
What I was trying to say that, ME, as a winner, should enjoy the comfort of believing that I am still better than half of the other ***** out there. If every single person is 'awesome', doesn't 'awesome' just become the new 'normal.'
And by the way, if I was American, I'd vote 3rd party. - littlebylittle, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21I agree with TIME on this, and it's because of ideas like Digg.
- scairborn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Dear Barbara Walters,
I'll be free for interviews next monday. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Yes, my life is finally complete!
- chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -8/+21Wasn't "getting laid" on your list. You have to do that first.
(; - Speff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+132 years: 2000 and 2004
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Magazine%27s_Person_of_the_Year#People_of_the_Year - bot001220, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Wow. I don't have anything prepared... I'd like to thank Digg, and 4Chan. Well, maybe not 4Chan.
- avolant, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12you're in control!
now please buy our *****. - spunkz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1569514,00.html
Time Article... - CalZStudios, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I feel special.
- systemghost, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Hey I'm famous! Hi mom!
- gcnaddict, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11"I mean The Daily Show."
Both are true. - phort99, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Runner-up: Everybody but you.
- digitalsin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Congrats++
- ericmcgovern, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Is this even relevant anymore?
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I thank all the little people who helped me here....
- CeeJayDK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7You ARE special.
Always remember that in this entire world in which we live in, there is only ONE of you.
You are someone truly unique and very special.
.. just like everybody else ;-) - BigKitty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8What this means is that TIME is conceding the fact that DIGGers, bloggers, and the like have trumped the mainstream media.
- haiduz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11spunkz you dont deserve to be the time person of the year
- CzescToJa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8wow, it's me? I don't feel any different.. am I supposed to? How lame
- tw0k1ngs, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11Time needs to learn about singulars and plurals. I did not make YouTube what it has become, nor MySpace, nor Digg. We did. If it was a "person" of the year it should be either "Tom" or "Kevin Rose."
