Time gets it partly right
Time Magazine's person of the year is, "you." Clearly, time meant each individual, as in you and you and you and . . .
That's partly right. It'd have been better if it used you, plural. It's us.
UPDATE: Jeff Jarvis agrees. It has always been us, he says.
More updata: Time puts a mirror on its cover. If the "you" Time were thinking about were plural, a better metaphor would have been a mesh, perhaps with a little dot of a mirror on one node.
