ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings has been doing some terrific tech-related work in their 2004 year-in-review coverage. While I can't disclose details, tonight's WNT episode features a technology-related "person of the year" segment in which I am a participant. I'm not a "person of the year" -- just another loudmouthed blogger who always has something to say about whoever is. Details and local air times: Link.

Update: The "People of the Year" ABC featured here -- bloggers. Link to segment transcript. The ABC News piece closed with a screenshot of this Photoshopped "fantasy" cover of what some thought a more deserving candidate for Time's "Person of the Year" issue. The image pays homage to Dan Gillmor's essential book, We The Media.

Update 2: Link to video: WMV (4.19 MB) (Thanks tons, Mike O!)
