Person of the year
No m'hauria imaginat mai que algú de nosaltres fós la persona de l'any segons la revista Time, i figurar al costat de figures de la talla de Hitler o Gandhi, i menys que fóssim tots. O sigui que felicitats a tots!
Buenu, això ho han fet arran de la irrupció del web 2.0 i mandangues d'aquestes que en el nostre modest bloc fomentem. Si voleu llegiu-vos l'article.
