Goodnight Burbank named Time’s Person of The Year!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Gordon Winston-Smythe @ 6:47 pm

Time magazine just announced their person of the year; “You” – “You” being defined as the people responsible for the growth of user-generated internet content. Well, that’s us all right. Sure, there are a few other people in the umbrella, but really, who’s counting them?

So thank you Time. Thank you very much.

And thank “you”.

Wait. That’s us.

  1. i think GNB is only user-generated-content if the same term applies if George Lucas was to post Star Wars on the web.

    now, if I was to rip off GNB vids and post them on you tube, THAT would be user-generated-content.

    wierd, huh?

  3. This post, however off-topic it may be, is about Internet freedom. \”Network Neutrality\” — the First Amendment of the Internet — ensures that the public can view the smallest blog just as easily as the largest corporate Web site by preventing Internet companies like AT&T from rigging the playing field for only the highest-paying sites.

    But Internet providers like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are spending millions of dollars lobbying Congress to gut Net Neutrality. If Congress doesn\’t take action now to implement meaningful Net Neutrality provisions, the future of the Internet is at risk.

    In the end game, only large companies will afford domains if the communications monopolies have their way with this. This of course isnt new news, but its coming to a head and blogs like this one will be a ghosttown unless all of us figure it our pretty darn quick. I wont post any links, but advise that if you value the internet, and blogs likw this one, that you search Google for \”Network Neutrality\” and educate yourself on this issue as it effects all of us.
