You are TIME Magazine's person of the year

Yes, you.

For participating in an online community like ours, for writing about your neighborhood, for giving us your expert opinion, for telling us your personal housing stories, and, in the process, contributing to a worldwide media revolution– you are TIME Magazine‘s Person of the Year.

The magazine’s cover story tells how Web sites like Wikipedia, MySpace, YouTube and, we’d like to think, YoChicago represent “the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing.” The small, usually unpaid contributions of millions of people to the World Wide Web has sparked a “new digital democracy” according to TIME, and we at YoChicago want to thank you for being a part of it.
