- Twitter popularity soars
- KSM to be tried in NYC
- Tea parties
- The resurgence of Atlas Shrugged
- Conservative authors top the NYTimes Best Seller list
- The beginning of Obama’s “rule”
- The exposure of the global warming hoax
- Kindle
- Ted Kennedy Tango Uniform
- ACORN implodes
- Guantanamo Bay is still open

Wasn’t Kindle launched in 2007?
Also, the resurgence of Atlas Shrugged should be travesty of the year. Is there a more blatantly anti-Christian philosophy than Randianism (Objectivism to the faithfully deluded)? As I recall, it’s pretty much a self-conscious elevation of self above all else.

Whatever you think of Ayn Rand, I’ve never seen so many people interested in her writings as I have this last year.

[Daniel] Kindle was released in 2007Yes, but the Kindle 2 was released this year, and the price dropped this year as well, making it seem a better deal and convincing many people who had been on the fence to take the plunge. This was the year the Kindle really hit the mainstream.
I think in 2009 the year 2012 became the new Y2K.
More people are saying “Good-bye” to their land lines and are switching completely over to mobile phones. And netbooks are hitting the mainstream.
I’ve been seeing a return to ‘real person’ customer service.
