Mark Zuckerberg: TIME's 2010 Person of the Year

In less than 7 years, Zuckerberg wired together a twelfth of humanity into a single network, thereby creating a social entity almost twice as large as the U.S. If Facebook were a country it would be the 3rd largest, behind only China and India.
“It’s something that is transforming the way we live our lives every day,” Time Managing Editor Richard Stengel said as he announced the magazine’s 2010. “It’s social engineering, changing the way we relate to each other.”

But hey... Time Magazine, what's the point of asking for people votes then ???
