media - Wang Xiaofeng, the Chinese person of the year

You might have noticed that Time Magazine has chosen us, the internet users, as the persons of the year. A justified recognition of the changes user generated content to going to cause in the media scene. Prolific weblogger Wang Xiaofeng is the obvious Chinese representative:
But labels don't really fit Wang. He doesn't like isms and movements and refuses to join groups or parties. He doesn't have some big, catchall solution.
"There's nothing that can be done about a lot of things in China," he says. "Most of what people do on the Internet is complain. At least we have a place to blow off some steam."
