Person Of The Year: Mark Zuckerberg.

[scottspfd82]

Actually a pretty good read.

For connecting more than half a billion people and mapping the social relations among them; for creating a new system of exchanging information; and for changing how we all live our lives, Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is TIME's 2010 Person of the Year.

Id say MOTY from 38 and 39 are both in the top 3 for Man of the Century

Here's the Time cover profiling Hitler as the 1938 Person (Man) Of The Year:

"From the unholy organist, a hymn of hate." lol That captures the man pretty well.

I think a lot of people forget that the title is (officially) given to the most influential person of the year, rather than the most popular. It seems kinda obvious, but everything's a popularity contest these days.

Zuckerberg is a good choice for 2010. He had a lot of competition, though.

Thank god, sick of seeing Assange everywhere and treated like a martyr.
