It provides examples of real-time collaboration tools like Writeboard and online photo editing with Picnik.

5. Why were YOU chosen by TIME? … because 2006 was a “story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It's about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people's network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes.”
