Today, Mark Elliot Zuckerberg, the co-founder and CEO of Facebook, just been named as the TIME’s Person of Year 2010. He created Facebook from his Harvard dorm room on February 2004, when he was 19yo. According to Time, the reason was Zuckerberg has created a third most populous ‘country’ on the globe, after China and India. Facebook membership has reached a number over 550th millionth this year, which means one amongst 12 people in the world has a facebook account. That’s phenomenal.
Yeah, I should admit that facebook has changed the way we connected. I have found lots of long-lost friends on facebook. It makes me easier to catch up with friends and family as well. Thanks Zuckerberg!
While some agrees on Time’s choice for its Person of Year 2010, some (including me!) thinks it’s bizarre why Zuckerberg won THIS year! It would be fair if Julian Assange, who is Wikileaks founder, was the winner. Besides, readers have voted Assange to be the winner in the poll, but the Time editors chosen Zuckenberg, who is on the 10th rank on the final ratings.
Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ is the person who has most influenced the culture and the news, for good or for ill. By its definition, I think Assange has been more influential THIS year than Zuckenberg. Ough dear, couldn’t agree more that Zuckenberg has done a very good job by creating facebook, but it is 2010 now… Wikileaks has put on the transparency spectacles for the world to see the way how the governments and their agencies have been working… Bravo Mr. Assange!
