What they are doing is getting a lot of people to click on their webpage so they can sell advertising. They know you don't decide something by asking the great unwashed public for an opinion. But every click translates to more value for the url. This isn't journalism - its salesmanship.Minnesotastanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382888179579245181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-21104709980420383622009-03-25T12:04:00.000-05:002009-03-25T12:04:00.000-05:00@Barbwire well that is exactly my point.Time is tr...@Barbwire well that is exactly my point.<BR/><BR/>Time is trying to get at who are the most influential people in the world. They are clearly not getting a true representation of who people consider the most influential people in the world. They are getting a better representation of who some people think would be hilarious if listed as the most influential people in the world.<BR/><BR/>I contend it is because Time doesn't understand the internet very well and didn't anticipate people would try to game their system for laughs.A.
