Time magazine names Mark Zuckerberg 2010 'Person of the Year'

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of the social media giant Facebook, is Time magazine's 2010 Person of the Year. He beat out the runners-up Julian Assange and the Tea Party.

Time magazine's most influential person of the year is Zuckerberg, the 26-year-old computer whiz behind the social media network boasting close to 600 million members worldwide. Zuckerberg is a year older than Time's first Person of the Year, Charles Lindbergh.

Last year, the Person of the Year honour went to Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve, which is, lest we forget ... a privately owned Bank and only 'Federal' in the same way as Federal Express is [not]................. say's it all, doesn't it ?
