Person of the Year: Consumers and creators of user generated content have been honoured )
        
'You' named Time's person of the year

In an unusual move, Time magazine has designated millions of ordinary Internet users as its "person of the year".

The cover for this week's issue has a mirror surface to reflect the reader's face with the headline "You" and is dedicated to people who are creating items on the Internet.

Time editor Richard Stengel says what is known as user generated content (UGC) is changing society.

"Time's person of the year for 2006 is you, the consumers and creators of the user generated content who are transforming the information age," he said.

"From YouTube this year to MySpace, individuals all across the planet were changing the way we do business, changing the way we perceive each other, changing the way we perceive the work."
