Email letters@TIME.com and say why Bloggers should be People of the Year

http://www.micropersuasion.com/2004/11/the_bloggers_sh.html

For 2004, I cannot think of a single person or persons that had a greater influence on society than the bloggers. Let's remind them by making our voice heard. If you think about American politics, media, business - no one, no one had a greater influence for better or worse than the bloggers. Not Osama Bin Laden. Not Sadaam Hussein. Not John Kerry. No one. The bloggers absolutely deserve to be this year's People of the Year. If you agree, then make your voice heard. Send an email to the editors of TIME ( letters@time.com) and explain why the bloggers deserve to be this year's choice.

2. Done

It's astonishing that anyone can have free blog space and communicate with the rest of the world at any moment.

3. Astonishing it may be, but what effect have they had?

Did they get Bush elected? Did they change his policy?

They may have been responsible for trashing Dan Rather's reputation. I can't think of another significant influence they had. Does that really get them 'Person of the Year'?
