Jawa Report Man/Men/Ladies of The Year.

Yesterday Time Magazine named YOU as the man of the year. “You”, as in, those who create user generated content. I know this was yesterday but it was the Blog Sabbath and we’ve not had a chance to brag yet. I thought I’d recognize our contributors who made YOU count this year. We’ll everyone helps, but a few stand out.

First we have Dr Rusty Shackelford(pic right), not only is he our blogfather, he created this platform that us gets attention drawn to all our work. Rusty’s work on this site is really the basis that we all depend on.

Rusty made YOU count with his exposure fake reuters photo here.

Much more below the fold.

Our star youtube player Ragnar created the following video. It’s one of my favorites.

Next our frequent Jawa contributor Bluto created this Vid.

Our Editor in Chief Vinnie did this one.

Jawa reader and blogger Stan The Indfidel created this vid

And not to leave out the ladies Michelle Malkin was in on this too. Getting some of her work banned from youtube.

So what did Howie do? Well it’s not really nice to brag on yourself now is it? But a few things. I started the Juba Sucks blog. The Jawa readers and I got one of al-Manar’s feeds taken off an American server. So everyone here helps. Bloggers, readers and just ordinary people, YOU all contribute.

Blogging has been very good to me. I’m just an ordinary person, just like you. When I look at all we’ve done here, I feel proud to have been a small part of it.

One thought I have is how many more that may be lurking out there. There are people who probably can say and do many things better than I do. I encourage them to start today while they still can. Right now YOU has a loud voice. This is an historic moment when just about anyone can be heard. I’m not sure how long that will last. So get out there and get involved.

Thanks to YOU.

This post is open to all Jawa contributors to add whatever they feel proud of and also feel free to link your stuff in comments.
